Islington Dental recycles in partnership with Colgate and TerraCycle
There’s no denying that the Zero Waste movement is gaining a lot of momentum with a huge spotlight shone upon our plastic problem. With 4.7 billion toothbrushes being made annually, TerraCycle and Colgate ® have created a free recycling program for oral care product packaging.
Islington Dental will provide recycling bins in their waiting area for patients to drop off product packaging.
We will also recycle any appropriate waste used during the day.
What can you recycle
Accepted waste includes toothpaste tubes and caps and packaging; toothbrush and toothbrush packaging; and floss containers. The program accepts any brand of oral care waste.
What happens to the recycled waste
TerraCycle will recycle the waste for use in making new recycled products.
Reward Points
Islington Dental will collect reward points from TerraCycle and these points will be redeemed for a payment of 2 cents per unit to a non-profit organisation or school of our choice.
