I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed products to our various TerraCycle Recycling Programmes over the years. We've had Glad wrap & Glad bag recycling, Dolce Gusto coffee capsule recycling, used writing instrument recycling, and the longest lasting has been our used oral hygiene products recycling programme. Every contribution you have made has kept items out of landfill, which has lessened your carbon footprint and helped to keep Papatūānuku, Mother Earth, healthier.

TerraCycle has changed the criteria for accepting oral hygiene waste and they are now only accepting Colgate products. Unfortunately, this means it is not viable for us to continue with this programme. Our closest collection point for Colgate Oral Hygiene products is Takapuna Kids, 2 Tennyson Ave, Takapuna. TerraCycle offer a wide range of other recycling initiatives. For the full range of products and collection hubs please click here.
Other options for recycling:

• Put your clean Glad wrap or plastic bags in Soft Plastic recycling bins in your local supermarket.
• Toothpaste cardboard boxes and mouthwash bottles can go in your usual kerbside recycling bins.
• Milford School continues to collect EcoStore packaging.

If you have any suggestions or would like further information on composting or other recycling options please contact Michelle Clark or Ellen von Collas.
