Frequently Asked Questions
What are Zero Waste Boxes?
ZWBs are pre-paid recycling boxes. Each type of ZWB takes a specific type of waste eg. plastic packaging, eyeware, hairnets etc
What size is right for me?
ZWBs come in three different sizes: small (10″x10″x18″), medium (11″x11″x40″) and large (15″x15″x42″). The size right for you will depend on how much waste you produce, how much and how long you can store. You can always start with a small size to see how long it will take you to fill up.
How long can I keep my Zero Waste Box?
There is no time limit on how long you can keep your ZWB. If you have room to store the waste, you can always choose a large sized box.
How do I store my recycled materials?
Store your materials out of the way, where they can until they are ready to ship. Make sure all items are dried before being placed in the box. Garages, warehouses, storage rooms are some of ideal places.
How do I ship the Zero Waste Box?
Once your ZWB is full, call UPS to ship your items to TerraCycle using the pre-paid UPS shipping label which is already affixed to your box.
Can I make a bulk purchase?
Yes, bulk shipment is available for 10 or more ZWBs. Please email us at order@newspringenergy.ca to arrange for bulk shipment pricing.
