What is TerraCycle?
The TerraCycle program is a recycling initiative that provides a solution for pet food bags that are not accepted in traditional, local recycling programs. It aims to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans while promoting responsible pet ownership. Through this program, pet owners can now recycle their pet food bags with ease and contribute to a more sustainable future.
How does TerraCycle work?
The TerraCycle pet food bag recycling program works by collecting pet food bags from individuals, schools, and businesses through various collection options such as drop-off locations and prepaid shipping labels. The collected pet food bags are then cleaned, shredded, and melted down to create new products. By being a free drop-off location, The Natural Dog and Nature's Emporium work to make it easy for you to participate in the TerraCycle program. Each store has a specially-marked bin where you can drop off your empty, clean, and dry bags. We'll handle getting the bags to TerraCycle while you relax in knowing that you're doing your part to help keep our planet a little cleaner.
Eligible pet food bags for recycling in the TerraCycle program include dry pet food bags and wet food containers made of woven or non-woven polypropylene plastic. The program also accepts flexible plastic treat and biscuit bags. Some of the brands carried by The Natural Dog and Nature's Emporium that are currently partnered with TerraCycle are:
