Find a Location Near You

If your skin care, hair care, or cosmetic products have a #1 or #2 recycling symbol, use our interactive map below to find a local recycling solution for the packaging. If no recycling solution exists in your area, you can include the empties in your shipments through this program.

Please note, this map is constantly being updated with new locations, so check back frequently!

How it works

Participating is simple and free.

  • Skin care packaging: lip balm tubes and caps, soap dispensers and tubes, body wash caps, lotion dispensers and caps.
