We will recycle the plastic mailing bag if you place it inside your Zero Waste Box™. Our team is currently reviewing alternative ways to ship the boxes. We will inform you when a new method of shipping is available.

At TerraCycle, we offer two main recycling solutions for people and companies based in the UK: Free National Recycling Programmes and Zero Waste Boxes™.
The Zero Waste Box is a different product and recycling service, separate to the free Recycling Programmes. Zero Waste Boxes provide solutions for waste that cannot be recycled through your local council or traditional recycling companies.
TerraCycle free Recycling Programmes are funded by brands, manufacturers and retailers to help you collect and recycle your hard-to-recycle waste. Simply choose the programmes you’d like to join on TerraCycle website; start collecting in your home, school, or office then take the waste to drop-off locations near you. To read more about TerraCycle Free Recycling Programmes, please click here.
Important: You do not need to purchase a Zero Waste Box™ if you are signed up to a free Recycling Programme.
For more information about the programmes, please contact our customer service team on 01 481 9380 or email customersupport@terracycle.ie
The cost of recycling can be broken down into three main parts: transportation, processing, and recycling. Your local government manages typical kerbside collections. With the Zero Waste Box™ system, the collection is built into the price.
With National Recycling Programs, the sponsoring brands and retailers pay for these expenses.
With Zero Waste Box™, you have the power to take matters into your own hands and recycle everything. To learn more, please visit this page.
The price of a Zero Waste Box is based on the current shipping and recycling costs for each material type. We understand this service may not be a fit for all customers at this time. We recommend checking out TerraCycle’s National Recycling Programs, which offer free recycling solutions.
