Lightwood Dental Leads the Way in Eco-Friendly Practices With TerraCycle®

While you likely recycle paper and cardboard, hard plastics, glass, and metal cans, you may wonder what to do about all those oral care products and packaging that you may have around your home. Many oral care products and packaging aren’t recyclable through traditional methods. That’s where we come in.

At Lightwood Dental, we’re not just committed to your oral health – we’re also dedicated to the health of our planet. That’s why we chose to become a TerraCycle drop-off location, which demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and community service.

Drop Off, Don’t Discard

Our dental practice serves as a drop-off location for oral care products and packaging of any brand. And you don’t have to be a patient of ours to take advantage of this service. This initiative is open to everyone, making it easier for our community to recycle these often-overlooked items.

You can drop off any of the following to be recycled:

Tackling the Global Waste Crisis

Overconsumption and our throwaway culture have led to a global waste crisis. While most materials are technically recyclable, many aren’t profitable to process. This results in waste accumulating in landfills and polluting our environment. By participating in TerraCycle’s program we’re doing our part to keep these items out of landfills and incinerators.

Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility

At our practice, we believe in going beyond providing exceptional dental care.

Our participation in the TerraCycle program is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability. We’re constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute positively to our community and environment
