FAQs

Here are some common questions we get from our beautiful customers:

Did you use to run recycle programs?

We previously were a collection point for a range of recycle programs, however, after careful consideration, we discontinued participating in all programs. The choice wasn't made lightly, but we required the warehouse storage space for our own operations and experienced a steady increase of the misuse of the programs. The logistics of sorting the waste became too time consuming for our small business and increasingly unsafe for our team. 

There are alternative avenues for you to recycle all of the programs we previously held:

• Nespresso pods [All recycling options] 
• Bread tags for wheel chairs at participating bakeries [learn more]
• Household batteries [Find collection points]
• Colgate oral care recycling program by Terracycle [learn more]
• Gillette razor recycling program by Terracycle [learn more]
