New Terracycle Collection: Burt’s Bees Packaging

SCARCE now offers a  new collection for hard-to-recycle items. As part of a new Terracycle brigade, we now accept EMPTY Burt’s Bees branded personal care, lip care, and beauty care packaging. See a full list of accepted items below.  Check out examples of acceptable waste in the image above. Other brands or packaging are NOT accepted.
