Mail-In
We are glad to accept your #5 recycling by mail, though before you participate, we encourage you to check on the availability of #5 municipal recycling services in your area.
To make this mail-in recycling program as environmentally-friendly as possible, we encourage you to reuse a box and pack it densely, and if possible, ship by ground. Although packing densely is important, we ask that you do not cut up your plastics as this makes it difficult for our team identify and sort #5s. Also, we ask that for items like yogurt cups that may have a “shrink sleeve” or paper label, that you remove the shrink sleeve or paper label before mailing.
Please note that as of November 27, 2020, we had to pause our Gimme 5 mail in program due to logistical challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We thank you for not making any Gimme 5 shipments for now. We expect to be able to provide an update sometime in January 2021, but as of January 7th, we have not been able to reopen the program. Please note that our Preserve Toothbrush Takeback program IS running during this time. We appreciate your patience!
