Snack wrapper recycling at REI

[MKS]

I am interested to get any info on the recycling snack wrapper collection thru REI. Is this available at all locations? If so what wrappers are accepted?

I am located in Woodbridge Virginia.

Thanks for any info

Hi @MKS - We have some great news for you about the snack wrapper collection program! Every REI store will be equipped with a TerraCycle zero-waste box for collecting these hard-to-recycle wrappers and bags. The following items will be collected in these bins:

• Candy wrappers
• Cookie wrappers
• Snack bags
• Multipack snack bags
• Family size snack bags

Let us know if you have any additional questions and thanks again for sharing your interest in this recycling service!
