How to dispose of Candles
-
General RecycleThis packaging is made from 100% recyclable tin but only if they’re entirely free of candle wax. So it’s worth taking the time to clear out the jar of wax. You can take out the wax by wiping it out when it’s still warm or soaking the wax in hot water and then scooping it out with a spoon and throwing the wax in the bin — not down the drain where it’ll likely clog your pipes. You can also try putting the candle in the freezer and then using a spoon or butter knife to get the wax out. Once you’ve removed all the wax, clean the tin out with soap and water as you would wash a dish, or try popping it in the dishwasher.

General RecycleMost glass candle jars can be recycled, but only if they’re entirely free of candle wax. So it’s worth taking the time to clear out the jar of wax. You can take out the wax by wiping it out when it’s still warm or soaking the wax in hot water (avoiding boiling water as it may cause the glass to crack) and then scooping it out with a spoon and throwing the wax in the bin — not down the drain where it’ll likely clog your pipes. You can also try putting the candle in the freezer and then using a spoon or butter knife to get the wax out. Again, though, you’ll want to be aware the glass might crack so you won’t want to leave it in the freezer for too long. Once you’ve removed all the wax, clean the jar out with soap and water as you would wash a dish, or try popping it in the dishwasher.
