Recycling Initiative
Every year, millions of candle jars end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds (if not thousands) of years to break down. Together, we can change this.
That's why we created the Oceans Deep Recycling Initiative. With the help of our amazing community, we have already repurposed more than 1,100 jars and refilled over 300 candles, saving nearly 800 pounds of glass from going to waste.
Want to get involved? Scroll below to see how you can return jars, request refills, and join us in keeping our oceans and our homes a little cleaner.
refill (local)
Do you have a favorite candle jar that you just can't part with? We get it. As long as your candle jar passes our heat stress tests, we'll refill your jar with your favorite Oceans Deep scent and give you 15% off the total cost as a thank you! This option is only offered locally (Elk Grove, California). Email us here or come see us at one of our popup shops or markets!
RETURN (LOCAL)
Are you a tried and true candle connoisseur with a bunch of old candle jars lying around!? No judgement here! We'll happily take your old candle jars off your hands and give you $1 off your next purchase for each candle jar you bring in! Please note, the returned jars must be candle jars due to the strict ASTM testing the glass undergoes. This option is only offered locally (Elk Grove, California). To initiate this process, please email us here or come see us at one of our popup shops or markets!
Upcycle or Donate (anywhere)
This is our favorite option for our friends that live far away! We strongly recommend upcycling your old Oceans Deep jars! Candle jars are great for holding change, knick knacks, bobby pins, scrunchies, pens/pencils, paintbrushes and more!
recycle (anywhere)
Check with your local municipality on recycling guidelines! Glass is generally a fairly easy product to recycle, but some areas might require a bit of extra sorting or additional cleaning. A little work goes a long way and we (and Mother Nature) thank you for it!
