So you use Brita filters...





So you're doing your part by using Brita filters instead of getting bottled water, but what do you do with your filters afterwards?  I -like most people - have been throwing the filters away because I had no idea what to do with them.  Well I'm happy to find that Brita now has a recycling program for them ! I guess we have no excuse now...!



Brita has teamed up with Preserve, a leading maker of 100 percent recycled household consumer goods, to collect and recycle Brita pitcher filters. Preserve’s Gimme 5 Program will transform the plastic from these filters into new Preserve products. Send your used Brita® pitcher filter cartridges back to us and we’ll arrange to have them recycled by Preserve!


The best thing about it is ...



It’s easy and FREE. Brita® will pay for the shipping costs.*

*Only valid for Brita® pitcher filters returned within Canada.

How to Participate:

  • Please save 3 used Brita® pitcher filter cartridges for each shipment. Only a maximum of 3 filters per package will be accepted (maximum weight 750g). You can include Pitcher and/or Bottle filter cartridges in your shipment. 
  • Dry the used filters by shaking off excess water and setting them in a dry place for at least a week before packaging them for shipping. Wrap the used Brita® filter cartridges in a plastic grocery bag, and then pack them in a box. 
  • If possible, please reuse the original box that you purchased the Brita® filters in to package the used filters for return (boxes and bags will be recycled). 
  • If the original packaging is not available, please use a parcel that is a similar size and shape to avoid excess packaging. 
  • Upon receiving your Brita® pre-paid shipping label and bar code via email, affix the label to the package and drop the package off at the nearest Canada Post mailbox.
