There are two ways to recycle your dental care products:
1. Dropping them off at a public drop-off location
You can find your nearest public drop-off location on the interactive map here. You can then drop off your dental care products.
2. By setting up your own public drop-off location
If there are no public drop off locations within a 5 mile radius, you can set up your own. Simply follow these steps:
For more information on public drop-off locations and what it involves to set one up, please visit the Terracycle page here.
Every year dental care products end up in landfill across the UK. We are working with TerraCycle® to put an end to this enormous loss of resources.
The Philips Dental Care Recycling Programme allows us to recycle dental care products and prevents them from ending up in landfill. Not only are you helping the environment, but the waste you recycle with us also helps to raise money for charitable organisations and schools.
