# Fundraising recycling scheme now extends to air fresheners and plug-in refills - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/11/14/fundraising-recycling-scheme-now-extends-air-fresheners-plug-refills/ - Published: 2014-11-14T16:46:58+00:00 - Author: Howard Lake Febreze and TerraCycle are now making it possible for the first time for consumers to recycle air and home care products and packaging such as air fresheners and plug- in refills. They can also generate income for their favourite charity, school or voluntary group when they do so. The companies’ joint **Air and Home Care Brigade** initiative covers a wide variety of items that previously ended up in landfill. Other plastic items that can now be recycled – and generate income for charities – include home care product trigger heads, pumps, caps and flexible home cleaning wipe packs. Individuals and organisations need to register (at no charge) to take part in the [Air and Home Care Brigade](http://www.terracycle.co.uk). They can then download freepost Royal Mail labels to put on a box or envelope in which they send in the plastic items that they save for recycling. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

The collected air and home care waste is then recycled into everyday products such as watering cans, garden benches and waste bins reducing the need to create new virgin plastic materials. ## Febreze Freshness Rewards Contest This new initiative is being promoted with the [Febreze Freshness Rewards Contest](https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/11/14/fundraising-recycling-scheme-now-extends-air-fresheners-plug-refills/www.terracycle.co.uk/en-UK/brigades/air-and-home-care-brigade), a six month contest which will offer **£5,000 worth of charity prize donations**.
