RECYCLING DROP-OFF PROGRAMS:

We offer an in-store opportunity to recycle items that typically cannot go into your curbside bin. We ship these to a special recycling facility.

Please note that we have a small space and may not be able to accept large amounts of recycling at one time. Please call ahead if you are bringing more than 1 grocery bag full so that we can verify we have the space to accept your items.

COMMUNITY JAR KIOSK GUIDELINES:

We accept up to 5 jars at a time. All jars/bottles/containers must be clean and have a matching lid. We cannot accept any jars or bottles with pumps or droppers as they are difficult to clean.

We cannot accept any pasta sauce, salsa, pickle jars, or any jars from other highly fermented foods as they hold the scent.

All donations must be submitted to a Tare Market associate. Our staff inspect the jars to make sure they fit our requirements, then we wash and sanitize each container before adding it to our kiosk.

Examples of donations we love: mason jars, plastic yogurt containers, nut butter jars, Talenti gelato containers, kombucha bottles.
