Yes, there is a way to make sure they get recycled instead of just tossing them in the recycling bin. I just found out about this from a friend (and sadly, it’s too late for me to use the program because we don’t use pouches anymore) – TerraCycle offers national programs (Brigades®) to collect previously non-recyclable or hard to recycle waste. While some programs have a cost, most of our Brigades offer free shipping as well as a donation for each piece of garbage that you collect. Click the link below to learn more:
