ACCEPTABLE WASTE
Please send us your discarded art supplies including paint brushes, empty paint tubes/cans/bottles, watercolors, crayons, charcoals, canvases, sponges, notebooks, easels, markers, tape, and empty paint remover bottles.
HOW IT WORKS
Please choose the size box you'd like to purchase. When you receive your box fill it with the appropriate waste streams. Once full, bring your box to any UPS location to ship your items back using the pre-paid UPS shipping label which is already affixed to your box. When we receive your box, we'll safely recycle all of the collected materials.
PROCESS
The collected waste is mechanically and/or manually separated into metals, fibers, and plastics. Metals are smelted so they may be recycled. The fibers (such as paper or wood based products) are recycled or composted. The plastics undergo extrusion and pelletization to be molded into new recycled plastic products.
UNACCEPTABLE WASTE
Please do not include unwanted office supplies such as hole punchers and staplers. We will also not accept household hazardous waste such as lithium ion batteries, pressurized canisters, pesticides, oil based paint or medical sharps, organics, broken glass, bio-medical waste, soiled diapers or expired medication. In addition, we also will not accept any item that is classified as sharps, flammable, reactive, corrosive, ignitable, radioactive, toxic, infectious, or pathogenic.
