false Every year millions of non–recyclable energy bar wrappers end up in our landfills. In response to this tremendous waste of resources, TerraCycle, along with founding sponsor Clif Bar and sponsor Balance Bar, is committed to finding a new use for used wrappers. As an eco-friendly innovator, TerraCycle is going to convert the used wrappers into unique accessories and other upcycled products. Once your request to join the Energy Bar Brigade has processed, TerraCycle will ship four postage-paid collection bags to your address. Once a bag is filled with 200 wrappers, all you have to do is seal it and drop it off at a UPS drop-off location. Thanks to the generous support of founding sponsor Clif Bar and sponsor Balance Bar, $.02 will be donated to the non-profit organization or school of your choice for each approved wrapper you collect. If you do not have a charity in mind, you can choose from our list of charities! There are no signup fees, no shipping charges and the program will never cost you a single penny! If you’d like more information or have any questions, please check out the FAQ. All energy, granola, nutrition, cereal and protein bars with an inner foil lining are acceptable - examples of approved wrappers are included below. We cannot accept wrappers that do not have the foil lining or candy wrappers.

What is an energy bar wrapper? The following is a picture of energy bar wrappers we can accept. Please keep in mind that we donate $.02 for all energy bar wrappers. Who can sign up for the Wrapper Brigade program? We welcome anyone from almost any organization to join in our recycling efforts! There are some practical considerations your organizations should keep in mind. For example, our program is not designed to accommodate recycling centers. We are currently collecting only energy bar wrappers, not candy wrappers. What do I need to sign up for the Wrapper Brigade program? Signing up for the Wrapper Brigade program is easy! All you need is a 501(c)3 charity (and their Tax ID #) to donate to, and of course, energy bar wrappers! We have a list of many charitable organizations to donate to if you do not currently have one in mind. You will also need a valid email address and mailing address for us to mail bags to you. How long does it take to get Wrapper Brigade collection bags? Once you sign up, you should receive a confirmation email from customersupport@terracycle.net. After you confirm, it takes roughly 1 to 2 weeks to receive your first set of bags. We ship bags via USPS from New Jersey. Shipping times will vary by location. If you have not received your bags by the third week, send a quick email to customersupport@terracycle.net from the email address you signed up with or call our customer support team at 866–967–6766. I signed up for the Wrapper Brigade program, but I haven’t received a confirmation email. What do I do? Try signing up again and check to see that the email address is entered correctly. If it is, modify or check your spam filter for an email from customersupport@terracycle.net. If all else fails, send a quick email to customersupport@terracycle.net from the email address you signed up with or call our customer support team at 866–967–6766. How many bags do you send? After you sign up, we will send you 4 collection bags which can hold 200 energy bar wrappers each. It should take roughly 1-2 weeks for you to receive your bags. You will only receive 4 more collection bags if you return bags to us and our records indicate that you only have 2 bags remaining. Check your account online for feedback on your energy bar wrappers, tracking your progress, etc. Do I have to pay for shipping? Nope! All the bags are mailed to you at our expense and come with UPS return labels which will bring the energy bar wrappers back to our factory so that we can make TerraCycle unique fashion accessories! You win, we win, and the environment wins. How do I get more Wrapper Brigade collection bags? Can I get more than 4? Four collection bags are automatically sent to your location when you return filled bags with energy bar wrappers and are down to 2 bags at your location. Because of the number of participants, we are unable to handle special requests. Please be aware of the 1-2 week processing time and plan accordingly at your location. How many energy bar wrappers should I put in each Wrapper Brigade collection bag? The collection bag fits 200 energy bar wrappers. How much do you pay per energy bar wrapper? We credit your charity $.02 per energy bar wrapper. How often do I get paid for my energy bar wrappers? Checks are mailed to your charity twice a year in June and December. Is there a limit to how many energy bar wrappers I can redeem? Currently there are no limits. However, please keep in mind the realities of the 1-2 week processing times, shipping times, etc. This program is designed for low-volume, steady streams of energy bar wrappers. What kind of energy bar wrappers do you accept? We donate $.02 for all energy bar wrappers. How should I send the Wrapper Brigade bags back to TerraCycle? Simply tape the collection bags securely and find a UPS regular pickup/drop off location. Please do not call UPS to schedule a custom pickup. Visit http://www.ups.com/dropoff?loc=en_US to find a drop off location if your location does not have regular UPS service. Our organization is done collecting energy bar wrappers, can I unsubscribe? To unsubscribe, return all the bags you currently have with energy bar wrappers and then visit your online account.
