Oral care items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and caps, electric toothbrush heads and floss containers can be dropped off free of charge at the CRC, which is located at the Resource Recovery Centre. The items are then sent to Terracycle for recycling. For more information follow this link.
As most oral care products are made from plastic, it is best to try to avoid and refuse these items. Some easy, waste reduction swaps that can be made, include; bamboo toothbrushes, toothpaste in glass jars and corn-starch or vegetable-based floss.
