How we recycle things correctly

We will always try to reuse or repair anything you deposit. If we can't, we work with creators and vendors who specialize in recycling specific materials to get them back into the local community accordingly.

How to monitor the status of your deposit

After we receive your deposit, we will tag the inventory to your information. Once the deposited objects have been processed - through a transaction, recycling facility, or reuse program - we will inform you with data related to the disposal, and the environmental impact of the process. If we are able to sell an item you deposit, we will inform you and refund a portion or all of your deposit, dependent upon the sell.

What container to use

Consider something the size of a microwave oven, Bankers Box, or small suitcase - near a volume of 18” x 12” x 12”. If possible, place your objects in a reusable container and we will transfer them to one of our containers. Any container will do! If you have large amounts of waste and would like to bulk submit deposits, please contact us

Why it costs

We collect currency with each deposit to help ensure waste doesn't end up in the ocean or a landfill and instead are recycled back into your local community. Finding the appropriate recycling method can be costly and time-consuming and often lacks traceability of the items you dispose. We aim to mitigate those steps for you and provide insight on where your deposit goes. These costs help fund operations including pick-up services and material management for each deposit. You will receive a detailed breakdown of costs once the materials are processed. These costs could be reduced or mitigated as collection networks, material recognition software, local recycling infrastructure, and recycling policy improves. Through community collaboration, we strive to make this happen.
