RECYCLE
Our mission goes beyond helping families feed human milk to their babies and meeting and surpassing their goals, our mission is also to make the world a healthier place.
Feeding your child human milk is not only one of the best things you can do for you and your baby's health, but also for the health of the world!
When human milk feeding creates waste, we REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE.
-
REDUCE your need for new pump parts. If you plan on having another child save your plastic parts and your pump.
-
REUSE your plastic bottles and parts from your previous pump, if you have some, or ask a friend if they have any.
-
RECYCLE your pump and plastic parts and bottles when you are done lactating. We recycle them as plastic, just like your curbside recycling.
Pump Recycling:
How to Recycle:
You are always welcome to bring pumps to our car seat recycling events,
otherwise please drop them off at our office anytime, even after hours.
-
Pumps may be dropped off anytime in the bin on our back porch.
-
Please make sure you are following the rules of what can/cannot be recycled below.
-
If the bin is full please come back another time when the bin is empty!
-
Please do not leave things on top, as they may get damaged with weather.
Breast pumps are recycled through an electronics recycling center. They are NOT reused or given to other caregivers. If your pump is brand new and unopened or in barely used condition, please reach out to the parents you know to see if someone can benefit from it, or ask local organizations if they can take them.
Wanting to donate new or gently used baby gear? If you can, please save us the time and donate straight to other organizations that support families. We do not keep any of the bottles/baby gear.
