Media coverage of Sylvan Lake’s environmental initiatives spread to the Toronto office of TerraCycle Canada, which reached out to the town. TerraCycle is a private U.S. business headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey. The town agreed to move forward with a recycling program and bought the collection receptacles from TerraCycle Canada at a cost of $100 each. The cost includes pre-paid, return-shipping labels that can be affixed to boxes of butts and then sent for recycling free of charge. At TerraCycle, the refuse is sterilized and prepared for processing.

Here are my 20 easy eco-friendly lifestyle hacks for reducing waste in your home. These green tips and tricks will help you live a more green and minimalist lifestyle. A lot of people think that making eco-friendly life changes are expensive and require specialty products. The truth is there are easy and affordable swaps you can make. It is NOT difficult or expensive to be eco friendly.

Get your community involved in recycling materials you would normally be chucking in the garbage by going in on a Terracycle Zero Waste Box together. For instance, a group of parents could get their children’s classroom a Zero Waste Box for snack wrappers (and for the month of August, this box is 20% off with the code AUGUSTBOX20) or try an Office Supplies Box for the whole school.

Recycling company TerraCycle has collected a total of 100 million cigarette butts through its Cigarette Waste Recycling Program, a free recycling program that diverts used butts from landfills.

Smokers are properly disposing of their butts while weighing in on news questions of the day with a new gadget installed in front of a downtown business. Since the Ballot Bin was installed, the area in front of Lonnie’s on Market, a downtown eatery, is considerably cleaner of cigarette butts.

If you’re looking for go above and beyond what is set up in your own municipality, you can reach out to TerraCycle Canada. They offer a program where you order boxes to your house, fill them up with select items and you can send them back to be recycled. Each box has a price tag, but they come with a free shipping label. There are 42 box options, including one for Personal Care Accessories (i.e., your beauty products!), baby gear or baby food pouches, as well as shoes and footwear, oral care like toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes, bath and shower accessories like soap dishes, toilet brushes and the like.

With my little one being almost 10 months old, we are full on into solids!  While she mostly eats homemade food at home, I love the convenience of baby food pouches for when we are on the go and specifically Love Child Organics which is an organic and nutrition-focused brand.  As well, they are serious about sustainability and they just partnered with Terracycle, an eco-friendly recycling company.    So now, you can send your empty Love Child Organics packaging to TerraCycle (For FREE!) and they are remolded to make newly recycled products like benches, picnic tables and even playgrounds.

TORONTO – Nutrition-focused infant and toddler food brand Love Child Organics is now providing consumers a free, easy way to recycle its packaging. Through a new partnership with TerraCycle, Love Child Organics created the Love Child Organics Recycling Program to provide consumers a method of recycling their BPA-free pouches, snack wrappers and bags.

Consumers can bring their beauty and skin care products and packaging to participating L’Occitane en Provence retail locations to be diverted from landfills through proper handling... If you don’t have a retail location nearby, another solution is TerraCycle’s Zero Waste Box*, an easy to use product for nearly every waste stream, including personal care and beauty products.
