GOING GREEN: Recycle those packing peanuts!

Besides the obvious choice of reusing packing peanuts in packages you will mail out, there is another alternative!
Too many packing peanuts?
Recycle them with The Peanut Hotline!
Call 800-828-2214 for the nearest recycling location. Your purchases often arrive protected by packing peanuts. You keep some for future packing needs but eventually have too many.
Don't throw them away, recycle them!
The Peanut Hotline (800-828-2214) is a 24- hour, toll-free service that directs callers to the nearest location that accepts plastic loosefill (packing peanuts) for reuse. The drop-off locations are convenient pack-and-ship stores or gift shops in your community. These stores reuse the loosefill you return and often will accept and reuse your boxes.
If your community doesn't have a Peanut Hotline location, you may check with local packaging stores, gift or craft shops, artist galleries or school art programs to find somewhere that can reuse packing peanuts.
