Merici College Green Tip #34: Have you got used makeup packaging, toothbrushes and paste tubes?

Reducing waste is an important sustainability promoting action.

Reducing waste is an important sustainability promoting action.  

This Greentip is a reminder that your used oral care products can still be dropped off at Student Services in the boxes provided to be recycled by Terracycle.

Toothpaste tubes and caps, toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and floss containers are all accepted.

As is your makeup packaging including shadow and powder trays, lip gloss tubes, concealer tubes and sticks, mascara tubes, and lotion dispensers.

This is an excellent opportunity to support this waste reduction campaign which will conclude at the end of term.
