What We Accept

Recycle Brevard accepts a multitude of materials for either REUSE or RECYCLING. To make it easier for our volunteers, please drop off items in bags or boxes (never loose) and group similar materials together in the same container. This simple step saves us valuable sorting time — and we truly appreciate your help!

We are currently able to accept the following items:

•  TerraCycle

•  Electronics and metal

•  Unwanted (but usable and in good condition) arts & crafts materials

•  Alkaline (single-use) batteries - please donate $2.50/pound of battery that you would like to recycle to go towards the purchase of recycling boxes and help us continue to offer this program to the community. We will only be able to recycle batteries accompanied by proper donation. 

If dropping off batteries at our drop-off locations, please include a print out of your donation receipt with your batteries. We also welcome battery box sponsorships. 

• VHS Tapes - If you have enough tapes to fill up a box (between 50 to 100), you may look to purchase your own technotrash box directly from GreenDisk.com

  If you would like Recycle Brevard to recycle your VHS tapes, please donate $1.50/tape to contribute towards the purchase of a technotrash box. Recycle Brevard does not receive any compensation from this program and we will only be able to recycle tapes accompanied by proper donation. Please, include a print out of your donation receipt in the box along with your tapes.

Others interested in helping this program may also contribute toward the purchase of boxes by donating any amount. On your donation form, please write a note to include your name and a dedication that we may share on our social media channels (optional). Thank you.  

•  6-pack rings (plastic drink rings)

Join our program to collect your plastic rings at home or at the office and receive FREE labels to ship them for recycling. Recycle Brevard does not receive any compensation from this program. IMPORTANT! This program allows you to collect and recycle your own plastic rings. We do NOT collect 6-pack rings for recycling.

• Popsockets and cell phone cases may be recycled directly through TerraCycle - we DO NOT collect them. 

Please, visit the Popsockets recycling program page for more information.

• EMPTY prescription bottles can be shipped directly to Matthew 25: Ministries or Cocoplum:

If you would like Recycle Brevard to ship your empty prescription bottles for you, a donation of $0.50/bottle will be required to assist with shipping. Recycle Brevard does not receive any compensation from this program and we will only be able to recycle bottles accompanied by proper donation. Please, include a print out of your donation receipt in the bag along with your prescription bottles.
