Recycling Leader Launches Subscription Pickup Service for Waste Streams Not Recyclable Curbside TerraCycle, an innovative recycling company that specializes in hard-to-recycle materials, is pleased to announce the launch of TerraCycle Home, a subscription-based pickup service for more than 20 different waste streams local recycling services won't accept curbside. TerraCycle Home currently services residents across New Jersey and in Eastern Pennsylvania with plans to continue to expand its footprint across the country. In New Jersey, TerraCycle Home services Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset and Union counties. Pennsylvania residents in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties can also access this service. A full list of communities currently serviced by TerraCycle Home can be found here. Materials accepted through the service include an extensive range of items that typically can’t be recycled locally, including cosmetic packaging, eyewear, PPE, pet food packaging, toys, plastic bottle caps, cigarette butts and all types of plastic packaging. The full list of accepted items, including descriptions of how each material will be recycled, can be found at terracyclehome.com. Here’s how TerraCycle Home works: Subscribe Receive Supplies Fill Bags and Schedule Pickup Place at the Doorstep to Recycle All trash collected through the program will be received by TerraCycle’s material recovery partners, where it will be sorted manually and then automatically into individual material components. Each material is then recycled into a raw format that can be used to make new products. As an added bonus, a portion of the waste collected through TerraCycle Home will be recycled into benches and other items that will be donated to local public parks in participating communities. “At TerraCycle, we have always been committed to making recycling as easy and convenient as possible,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “Through TerraCycle Home, we are happy to now offer doorstep recycling pickups for hard-to-recycle plastics and other items that do not belong in curbside recycling bins and help keep these items out of landfills and incinerators.” For more information on TerraCycle’s recycling programs, visit www.terracycle.com.
