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

A public drop-off location is a place with a collection box where members of the public can drop off hard-to-recycle waste to be recycled by TerraCycle®. A public drop-­off location is 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 location, sending the waste to TerraCycle®, etc.

Public drop-off locations engage local communities and therefore result in larger amounts of waste collected. All public drop-off locations appear on the relevant program maps to ensure that other collectors can easily find their nearest ones.
