Find a drop-off site, buy-back centre or collection service

Easy and convenient

Ready to start your recycling journey?

Building South Africa’s circular economy starts with you! Once you’re done with your recyclable packaging, there are a number of ways to dispose of it responsibly and set the wheels of recycling in motion.

Petco makes it easy. We’ve gathered these handy resources to help you find your nearest drop-off site or buy-back centre – or connect with a collection service operating in your area.

(Handy hint: Ask your service provider which recyclables are accepted, as this varies according to the local recycling infrastructure available in your area.)

Let’s get started!
