Do You Recycle Bathroom Products? Start Now with This Scavenger Hunt!
Recycling is easy, once you make a conscious decision to do it. You simply designate a recycle bin, and separate your cans, plastics, papers and other recyclable items. You keep your recycle bin in an area that’s easily accessed by everyone in the house, like the kitchen probably. That’s where most of our recyclable items come from at least. Seems simple enough.
But what happens behind closed doors?
You’re probably wondering what exactly I mean by “closed doors”. Well, I’m digging deeper than the kitchen recyclables, into an area that often gets overlooked when we’re thinking green. I’m talking about the bathroom.
Many people forget to recycle in the bathroom, which is, coincidentally, the place where most personal care products are used. When Johnson & Johnson realized this problem last October, they decided to do something about it! This brought about the launch of Care To Recycle. Care To Recycle® aims to raise awareness of recycling in the bathroom through engaging, educational content such as statistics, DIY projects, and True/False posts
Not quite sure what exactly you should be recycling? Not to worry! Care to Recycle has you covered with that info and more! In celebration of Care To Recycle’s 1-Year Anniversary, they are hosting a scavenger hunt with Recyclebank!
Helpful information such as where to recycle, what to recycle, and how to recycle can all be found on the Care To Recycle® page: www.caretorecycle.com. Be sure to check out this helpful information during the scavenger hunt.

I am all about recycling things!!! We’ve also starting getting the tubeless paper recently to reduce waste even more!
Sounds like a fun way to earn some RecycleBank points. We try to recycle but could use a little more education on what else we can recycle.
We recycle everything we can in this house! In fact We fill two 55 gallon drums each week full!
This is pretty neat. We up-cycle toilet paper tubes sometimes and use them in crafts.
The scavenger hunt is a great idea! I know we could certainly do a lot better about recycling in our household.
This is such a fun idea! I know I can be better about recycling in the bathroom!!
How awesome! I must admit, I recycle bathroom products much less often than I should. This will change that though!
We love recycling! This makes it fun! Thanks for sharing :)
I had never heard of this site… Sounds like a lot of fun. Will totally have to check it out.
I recycle the toilet paper rolls from the bathroom but that is it. I like this scavenger hunt. great way to educate people.
This is a great idea to get the kids involved, they love scavenger hunts! :)
How great that your children are involved!
Well that’s a waste!
I have recently gotten off the recycling train because of all the stuff going on in my life. This seems like a great way to get back in the habit.
That sounds like a great way to get in the bathroom recycling habit. I’ll try this, and it sounds fun!
Hubby and I used to recycle but stopped a few years ago, mainly because we found that our waste management company was dumping all of the recyclables in the same truck as the other trash so it was pointless.
we are super careful to recycle everything and my 4 year old loves to sort the trash from the bathrooms into our recycle bin! i bet she would love a scavenger hunt! great idea!
Yes, I recycle but just the right amount. It’s hard to overdo it.
we all need to recycle. Especially me. Coming back to a check out the scavenger hunt.
Recycling bathroom products is a great idea. The scavenger sounds like a lot of fun!
To be honest, I need to do a lot better with recycling! Especially when it comes to recycling bathroom products!
I recycle everything I possibly can. If it’s paper, plastic, or glass, I’m recycling it.
This is new to be but looks like fun. I’m going to try it it out.
I try to recycle as much as I can… But I have to admit I can do more.
I don’t recycle at all to be honest. I should, but I just don’t.
