Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash Collect & Recycle 69 Tons of Pet Product Packaging; Expand Recycling Efforts with Trade-In Program Following Earth Day

This Earth Day, Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash celebrate the achievement of collecting and recycling 69 tons of pet food, treat and litter bag packaging through their in-store program.

From April 30 through May 13, used collars, leashes, or harnesses can be dropped off at participating Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash locations for recycling.

TerraCycle partners in sustainability initiatives with the brands. Since the partnership began, more than 69 tons of waste have been prevented from ending up in landfills or incinerators, underscoring a measurable environmental impact. The brands continue to provide opportunities for responsible recycling and waste reduction.

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.”
