Recycle your disposable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Humber with TerraCycle’s Zero Waste Box.

TerraCycle collects and recycles all kinds of waste and diverts millions of pounds from landfills and incinerators each month.

By using the Zero Waste Box, Humber can recycle non-standard items like PPE. Please place your disposable PPE equipment in a Zero Waste Box on campus. By doing this, you ensure your PPE will be disposed of and recycled correctly. Below is a list of accepted PPE equipment and campus drop-off locations.

Zero Waste Box Accepted Items:

• Beard nets
• Disposable (latex, nitrile, and vinyl) gloves
• Ear plugs
• Non-woven disposable garments
• Non-woven disposable masks
• Non-woven hair nets
• Safety glasses and googles

Drop-off Locations – North Campus:

• Residence Café
• Street Café
• Learning Resource Commons (1st floor)
• D Building

Drop-off Locations – Lakeshore Campus:

• Birmingham
• L Building (2nd floor)
• A/B Building (across from the Bookstore)

Once the Zero Waste Box is full, it is shipped to TerraCycle, sorted into categories based on material composition, and then processed into usable forms. Remember that reusing and repurposing is always the most sustainable option. 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….to treat yourself to a greener commute!
