Every year hundreds of digital cameras are needlessly discarded, and TerraCycle® is proud to provide a second life for these cameras.
For each approved digital camera received, your collection location will be awarded 250 TerraCycle points which can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts or for a payment of $.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Please click here to learn more about the TerraCycle Points Program!
Participating in a TerraCycle Brigade is totally free! There are no signup or participation fees, and the shipping is covered by the program. Once you have joined the Digital Camera Brigade®, simply follow the steps below to receive your TerraCycle points:
- Collect at least 10 digital cameras in a box or bag (approved waste is listed below). Remember to reuse a shipping box or bag and use eco-friendly padding!
- Download a pre-paid shipping label from terracycle.com. To acquire a pre-paid label, simply access your TerraCycle account online, and click “SHIP US YOUR WASTE”. You can print them out yourself or request that TerraCycle send the label.
- Ship the box to TerraCycle by affixing the pre-paid postage label and dropping it off at a UPS location.
