With every pan or kitchen gadget, there is a time to give it up. Don’t toss it in the trash! Many of these items can be reused or can contain valuable metal and plastics that can be recycled!
For December The ReCollective is taking used kitchenware in your ReCo Pick Bag. This includes things like flatware, plates, bowls, pots, utensils, measuring cups, and mixing spoons. We’ll even take that scratched Teflon frying pan that has been sitting in the cabinet for years.
Anything that can easily break such as thin glass should not be included.
Where is there kitchenware going? We partner with local community organizations as well as GreenZone to reuse and recycle.
Did you know that plastic toys account for 90 percent of new toys sold, and 80% of all toys end up in the landfill, incinerators, or the ocean?
The ReCollective is taking used toys as a BONUS pick in December. Please put the toys in your own bag (less than 30 gallons) and set it beside your waterproof bag. Do not put the toys in your ReCo Pick bag.

As we re-image our lifestyles, consider these tips for toys-
- Buying second-hand toys
- Buying sustainable and non-plastic toys
- Sharing toys with friends and family. A local Triangle company, Tiny Earth Toys, rents age-based, plastic-free toys!
