Each year thousands of laptops are discarded across America. TerraCycle® is putting an end to this awful loss.
For each approved laptop received, your collection location will be awarded 500 TerraCycle points which can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts, or for a payment of $0.01 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 Laptop Brigade, simply follow the steps below to receive your TerraCycle points:
- Collect at least 2 laptops . Remember to reuse a shipping box or bag and use eco-friendly padding!
- Download a pre-paid shipping label from terracycle.net. 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.
