Do not place pens or other writing instruments in your curbside recycling.

TerraCycle offers national programs (Brigades®) to collect previously non-recyclable or hard to recycle waste including writing instruments. While some programs have a cost, most of the Brigades offer free shipping as well as a rebate or donation for each piece that you collect. Learn how the Terracycle Brigade programs work.

If no recycling options exist, place in the regular trash for disposal.
