Hellocycle - Subscription Recycling for a Stress-Free Home

What We Recycle

We send these out to a lamp recycler. They have to be specially stored prior to recycling because they contain hazardous mercury. It costs us about 5 cents per bulb to recycle.

CFL’s

We accumulate alkaline batteries until we have a large quantity and send them to a metal smelter in Philadelphia. Rechargeable batteries are sent to the RBRC - an industry consortium that arranges recycling of NiMH batteries. We have to pay to recycle the alkalines but the rechargeables are free, and shipping is prepaid. battery recycling hellocycle subscription recycling batteries

Batteries

We bring CD’s to the CD Recycling Center of America in Salem, NH: This does not cost us anything but we cover delivery.

CD’s

We recycle these with Goodwill. We do not make any revenue but Goodwill is able to make a small profit.

Phones and Small Electronics

We recycle these with Goodwill. We do not make any revenue but Goodwill is able to make a small profit.

Inkjet Cartridges

We recycle these with Goodwill. We do not make any revenue but Goodwill is able to make a small profit. Responsible recycling of electronic cords, especially those with PVC insulation, is a challenge that we continue to work on.

How Hellocycle Works

Subscribe, and we’ll send you an empty box. It has foam cutouts, custom cut for hard to recycle items like CFL’s, small electronics like phones and mp3 players, CD’s, inkjet cartridges, and household batteries – as well as a section where you can fit in obsolete cords and cables. Then, just tape it up, place the prepaid mailing label on it, and drop it in any mailbox. Our team empties the box, responsibly recycles the items, and sends you another box. As we grow, more sorting is done by Mobe Manufacturing, a work center which provides employment for people with disabilities. It's kind of like the Netflix or Dollar Shave Club of recycling - a subscription service, but for recycling.
