We offer our Members the option of returning their item containers when we make your weekly deliveries. This is a great option when your town/city does not accept our plastic containers with your weekly recycling collection. All new Members are opted into this recycling program.
If enrolled in our Container Return Program, a special recycling icon (♻️) will be visible on your packing slip included in your order. This icon will let our delivery drivers know whether or not you are actively enrolled.
To return your containers:
-
Rinse, clean, and sanitize your containers (dishwasher or sink with soap)
-
Place your containers in an empty F&F delivery bag along with your ice pack
-
On your next delivery day, your driver will collect your containers, bags, and ice packs
We accept any rigid plastic, including salad containers (base, lid & insert), souffle cups (base & lid), black base containers and clear lids, and deli-tainers (base & lid).
We do not accept plastic bags, glass, or aluminum pans.
Your containers will be collected, consolidated, and retrieved at our facility by our partner, TerraCycle. Because of this, there is a weekly $2 fee associated with collecting your containers. TerraCycle specializes in collecting hard-to-recycle materials (such as our food containers) and repurposing them into affordable, innovative products, rather than sending the waste to a landfill. Please take a moment to read our full post about TerraCycle here.
If your bags are not collected upon making your weekly delivery, please look for a notecard from our team inside the bag, asking that the containers be re-sanitized so we can collect them for this program.
Feel free to reach out to our team at contact@feastandfettle.com with any further questions - we're happy to help! 😊
