Bathroom "Bio-Waste" IS NOT Recyclable
Bathroom "bio-waste" is not recyclable. Disposable razor blades, used deodorant and cotton swabs, for instance, should be thrown into a garbage bag and discarded. We are accepting empty toothpaste tubes, empty dental floss and toothbrushes in sealed bags in the recycling center office if you are a permitted user. This is part of the Terracycle Brigade partnership with Colgate Oral Care to take back dental care items.
The U.S. EPA estimates that 2 billion disposable razors are tossed each year. So, if you’re looking to really reduce your waste, your best bet may be to drop the extra dough on a longer-lasting razor.
