YOU CAN RECYCLE MORE!

The ReCollective makes it easy to recycle plastic bags, batteries, bulbs, textiles, styrofoam, organics, and much more – we pick it up right from your front door!

You collect at home, we take it from there!

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

RECOLLECTING IS EASY

1
Collect your materials in your ReCollective bags at home.
2
The ReCollective picks up your bags once a month.
3
The ReCollective keeps your stuff out of the landfill through creative reuse & recycling solutions.

Where Does Your ReCollected Stuff Go?

ReCo is more than recycling! Our circular economy looks first to reuse or reimagine the stuff you no longer need, then to recycle everything else.

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.

ReCo provides Hard-To-Recycle pickup services across much of the Triangle, including Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Apex, and Holly Springs. Food Scrap pickup is available in select areas of Durham, Cary, and Raleigh.

ReCo MEMBERS ARE CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT WASTE!

Since The ReCollective launched in September 2022, members have saved from the landfill:

PLASTIC BAGS

STYROFOAM (CU FT)

TEXTILES ARTICLES

BATTERIES & BULBS

And Much More!

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.
