Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash participate in a program that supports recycling in pet care. Through the TerraCycle partnership, the brands provide everyday solutions aimed at reducing waste in local communities.
“Most pet-related items—from packaging to worn collars and leashes—aren’t accepted through local recycling, which means they’re typically thrown away,” said Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “By building on an established in-store collection program and introducing a limited-time way to recycle everyday gear, this effort makes it easier for pet parents to take action and keep more of what they use out of landfills and incinerators.”
