HOW IT WORKS

Being a part of Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program® couldn't be easier.

Collect 'em & Clean 'em
– Collect your Elmer's Washable School Glue and Glue-All bottles that are marked with a #1 or #2 recycling symbol. Please note that your Elmer's Glue Sticks will not be marked with a recycling symbol, as they are made with plastic that requires special handling and therefore can only be recycled at designated facilities.
 
– Clean the empty glue bottles and glue sticks the best you can with warm water (This is a great task for your students).
  
Drop 'em in & Drop 'em off
There are now 2 ways to return empties-see below for return instructions through WalMart or The Elmer's Glue Crew Brigade program with TerraCycle.

Walmart®

- Collect empty glue sticks and glue bottles.
 
- Once your collection box is full, close up the box and print the official Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program® mailing label and affix to the outside of the box.
 
- Bring your full receptacle of empty glue containers to your nearest Walmart® (store locator) beginning Earth Day, April 22, 2010, and give it to one of the Walmart People Greeters.

TerraCycle

- Collect empty glue sticks and glue bottles.
 
- Once you have collected at least 250 empty glue bottles or glue sticks, put them into a reused box (about the size of a copy paper box).
 
Sign in to your account at terracycle.net and click on "Get Mailing Labels" on the left side of the Elmer's Glue Crew Brigade page to print a pre-paid shipping label. Place the label on your filled box and take it to a UPS drop-off location.
 
**Please note that there are a limited number of shipments. Once the limit has been reached, users will no longer be able to print free shipping labels to send in their materials. When this time comes, participants can still keep empty bottles and sticks from landfills by returning to Walmart as part of the original Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program.
