YOU CAN RECYCLE MORE!

Start ReCollecting TODAY!

The ReCollective makes it easy to recycle plastic bags, batteries, bulbs, textiles, styrofoam, organics, and many other common hard-to-recycle household materials – we pick it up right from your front door!

You collect Hard-to-Recycle materials at home, we take it from there!

Each month, members can recycle 7+ different materials, totaling over 26 unique materials annually—all with a focus on reuse. Our reusable canvas bags make it easy!

Curbside recycling programs can only take so much. The ReCollective fills the gap! We reuse and reimagine your materials whenever possible, then recycle the rest!

Textiles: Reuse when possible, then recycle.
Plastic Film: Recycled
Used Bulbs & Batteries: Recycled
Styrofoam: Recycled
ReCo Picks: Almost all ReCo picks are reused!
Organics/Food Scraps: Composted

Absolutely love The ReCollective and their mission!!! Even if all they did was collect my plastic, I’d still use them, but no. They offer SO much more!!! And at an affordable price. Thank you, ReCollective, for helping our environment ♥️🌍♻️

Love that they will take hard-to-recycle items and items that the city won’t take to recycle, or just items that I don’t want to add to the landfill! Easy to use, very reasonable price, and they encourage asking your neighbors to help contribute! I don’t feel nearly as bad about getting rid of clothes now 😊

ReCollective has been a great avenue for my hard-to-recycle items. Their communication is great, and I love that they partner each month with a different ReCo Pick for other items that may be lying around my house.

REAL TALK

A typical household may send 1500 plastic bags, 100 batteries/bulbs, 150 textile articles, 350lbs of food scraps and more to the landfill each year. This includes hazardous materials, toxins, and forever chemicals. Materials that pollute the air, water, land, and even our bodies.

We want you to help others recycle more, too. That’s why we encourage you to share your membership and ReCo bag space with others to help them get going.
