Depending on your local recycling center, you can’t toss your toothbrush into the recycling bin. Well you can, but you’ll just be adding trash for the workers to pick out. And you shouldn’t throw your toothpaste tube in the bin either. But you
can mail them to a specialized recycling center for free, with a program from Colgate and TerraCycle.
To find out whether your local recycler actually processes toothpaste tubes, you'd have to call them to find out. If you are committed to recycling your toothpaste tubes, are willing to cut and scrape them after use and your local waste management company still won't take them, you do have at least one option: Recycling organization Terracycle has partnered with Colgate-Palmolive to recycle toothpaste tubes (and other oralcare products) free of charge.
ShopRite and Colgate-Palmolive are staging a contest to underscore the importance of water preservation while brushing.
The "Save Water Challenge" will award two Northeastern schools with lumber made from recycled materials to create an outdoor garden — encompassing up to 12 garden beds, one gazebo, one picnic table and one flat bench. Schools enlist students and other constituents to visit a promotional page within recycling company TerraCycle's website and pledge to conserve water by turning off their faucet while brushing their teeth. The prize goes to the two schools that earn the most pledges from July 8 to Sept. 30.

Nearly 30 pounds of old crayons from all over the country land on Kim Martonosi’s doorstep every day. With the help of her kids, she sorts the worn and broken wax sticks by color, melts the bins of blue-greys and light greens and pinks down to a gooey swirl, and shapes the new creations into stars and earthworms and simple sticks. Over the past 25 years, Martonosi’s business, Crazy Crayons, has salvaged just over 120,000 pounds of colorful wax, the equivalent of about 12 million new coloring tools.
