Method + TerraCycle = a grand idea

You can imagine how excited I was when I learned that two of my favorite Eco companies had joined forces:

TerraCycle is now upcycling Method's refill pouches.

How cool is that!?!


No surprise that I immediately signed up for the Method Refill brigade and so can you! There are still 200 slots open.

Here is what TerraCycle has to say about the Method brigade:

Each year, more than one million Method® refill pouches are needlessly discarded and end up in our landfills. TerraCycle is proud to partner with Method® to create a second life for these used refill pouches.
Every time you refill your soap dispenser, all you have to do is save the refill pouch and send it in. Then we’ll up-cycle the material into fun and innovative products.
For each approved item received, your Collection Location will be awarded two TerraCycle points which can be redeemed for a variety of charity gifts or for a payment of $0.02 to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Please click here to learn more about the TerraCycle Points Program!
Participation in the Method® Refill Brigade is simple and totally FREE – all costs and shipping are covered by Method®. It’s as easy as this:
  1. Sign-up to participate in the Method® Refill Brigade. (you can print out posters and other materials to help collections as well as pre-paid shipping labels online).
  2. Collect at least 20 Method® refill pouches and put them into an empty box you have on hand.
  3. Affix the pre–paid postage label and drop it off at a UPS location. We will check in the box once it arrives at TerraCycle, and then you can track your shipments online.
  4. Affix the pre–paid postage label and drop it off at a UPS location. We will check in the box once it arrives at TerraCycle, and then you can track your shipments online.
Now I have 6  boxes lining my garage wall, one for each brigade I am a part of (drink pouches, breakfast bar wrappers, cookie wrappers, glue containers, coffee bags, & now Method refills!)

I highly recommend that you click on over and join the Brigade fun! There is sure to be a brigade that fits you.
