Artisan Dental has begun the first and only oral care products recycling program in the Dane County area, helping to keep toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, floss containers and mouthwash containers out of landfills. The Artisan Dental Recycling Program participates with the Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade®, and TerraCycle®. The program also earns money for charity, as waste sent to TerraCycle generates cash donations to Feeding America. The waste materials will be recycled into products, such as cutting boards, and trash cans.
Artisan Dental is also cooperating with the City of Madison Streets and Recycling Department to create additional awareness around the program. “Oral care products are impossible to recycle in municipal curbside programs,” Madison recycling coordinator George Dreckmann said. “It is great when someone in the community steps up to help with hard to recycle materials. We are pleased to partner with Artisan Dental to recycle these products.”
Artisan Dental accepts oral and personal care waste from local community members at its offi ce at 10 North Livingston St., Suite 301, Madison, WI. 53703. For more information please visit our website or call 608-467-8022.
