How does it work?
Collect products at home ➡ wash them.
Bring your products into the Hive: Mon – Fri 9.30am to 2pm.
Once our bin is full, we will send to TerraCycle UK where they will be recycled into a raw material that can be manufactured into an end product such as; outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, watering cans, storage containers and bins, tubes for construction applications, flooring tiles, playground surface covers, athletic fields, and more!
