How to recycle a toothbrush

Somethings are hard to recycle - like toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes. But now there's a way.

Biome stores have these collection boxes in store.

So what can we recycle?

Through this program we can recycle toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, floss containers and packaging.

What if you're not near a store?

At the moment all Biome stores are in Brisbane.

If you're elsewhere in Australia, why not start your own collection or find an existing one near you.

The Biome collection is part of the Terracycle program. You can start your own collection at your local school or community group (and raise money for that group). It's convenient for you and can help other people in your group get involved in recycling.

PS. US readers, Terracycle US also has a dental products program.
