What is a public drop-off location and what does it involve?

A public drop-off point is a place with a collection box where members of the public can drop off hard-to-recycle waste to be recycled by TerraCycle. They are typically set up and managed by a single person or a small group of people - the administrator(s). The administrator will be in charge of:

• Managing the public drop­-off point
• Sending the waste to TerraCycle
• Deciding how earned points will be distributed to non-profit organizations.

Public drop-off points engage local communities and therefore result in larger amounts of waste collected. All public drop-off points can be found here.
