RECYCLING INFORMATION
YOU asked for this and we love you for it!
At BLAEK Store we are incredibly passionate about recycling, or more to the point giving useful materials a second, third and fourth life!
We surveyed our community and it turns out a massive amount of you are too which was no surprise to us. So we have deveoped (and will continue to develop) our recycling program which we hope to grow, with you, into an incredible grassroots program that we can all be proud of.
We have three options available to help you (and the planet) by recycling your hard-to-recycle household items listed below.
Option 1: Drop Off
Drop off your recycling of up to 1 shoe box's worth for $10 and receive a $10* discount code to spend in store or online whenever you like. Did someone say rewards for recycling?!
*minimum spend of $50
Option 2: Casual Pickup
This is the option for the casual recyclers who want to book a pickup as a one-off. Maybe you want to test the waters, maybe you have commitment issues or maybe a one-off works best for you. Either way it will only cost you $20* for up to 2 shopping bags worth of recycling!
Of course you also receive a $10** discount code to spend in store or online whenever you like.
*any extra bags will be an extra $10 per bag.
**minimum spend of $50.
Option 3: Set & Forget
The monthly subscription that saves you money while saving the planet. It's also super convenient! $15* for 2 shopping bags worth and it's set and forget with you being able to pause, skip or cancel anytime.
Of course you also receive a $10** discount code to spend in store or online whenever you like.
*any extra bags will be an extra $5 per bag.
**minimum spend of $50.
