Over the past few years, we’ve offered a variety of free specialty recycling programs in the shop as a way to help divert hard-to-recycle items from the landfill.
As we’ve grown, we’ve taken a closer look at what’s most impactful, sustainable, and realistic for us to maintain long-term. After a lot of consideration, we’ve made the decision to phase out these programs.
We will continue accepting disposable masks and writing utensils (pens, pencils, and markers) until those collection boxes are full. Once they are, these programs will also be discontinued.
If you’re looking for other ways to recycle these types of items, we recommend checking out TerraCycle or your local municipality’s website for updated drop-off programs and special collection events.
More than anything, this shift reflects something we talk about often: recycling isn’t always the solution.
Many of the programs we’ve offered focus on single-use items like disposable razors and oral care products. While recycling can help, it still requires energy, resources, and systems that aren’t always as circular as we’d hope.
Whenever possible, choosing reusable or low-waste alternatives can have a much bigger impact.
We’re proud to offer options in the shop for many of these everyday items—making it easier to move away from disposable products altogether.
We know this change may feel like a loss for some, and we truly appreciate everyone who has used these programs over the years. Your efforts have made a difference.
Thank you for continuing to grow with us and for being part of a community that’s willing to rethink what sustainability can look like.
