Candle In, Candle Out
CONTAINER RECYCLING PROGRAM
Does this sound familiar?
A candle’s used up but you can’t get rid of the container, because:
• it’s too aesthetic
• you could reuse it...someday
• can't recycle containers without melting out the wax
• “I’m going to clean it next weekend!”
• tossing nice jars in the trash just feels plain wrong.
Whatever the reason, ultimately you end up with a sooty jar-graveyard that haunts you every time you want to buy a fresh, new candle!
At Parallax we're big on balancing sustainability with the fun of buying nice things, so creating an exchange program for reuse and recycling was the answer.
It reduces:
- Waste
- Clutter
- The guilt of not having the time or energy to reduce 1 & 2.
The hope is if we help free up space, you can fill it with more kindness for yourself.
Here's How It Works:
With every order, you can send us back your used candle containers at no extra cost.
📍 Used jars of ANY brand are accepted, as long as they are made of glass or metal.
1. Add the "Recycling Box" to your cart, in a size of your choice, before checkout.
2. When you receive your candle order, it will come with an additional shipping box and label.
3. Put your used candle jars/containers in the box and stick on the label.
4. Drop it off with the selected shipping partner (USPS, UPS etc), and you're done!
[If you’re in NYC and would prefer a direct drop off, you can add a note in your order]
We'll take it from there, cleaning and prepping the containers to repurpose for our free community giveaways, and/or recycling at our local plant! ♻️
