Want to turn your empty medicine bottle or used Brita filter into a toothbrush?  Preserve can do that for you.

As a producer of recycled personal-care and kitchen products, Preserve has partnered with Stonyfield Farms for many years, refashioning its organic yogurt containers into a line of recycled plastic toothbrushes, razors, mixing bowls, food-storage containers, and more.

As of January 2009, Preserve has expanded its collection efforts with its new "Gimme 5" program, allowing you to recycle all of your #5 plastic – whatever its origin -- into Preserve products.

Mail your plastics directly to Preserve, or deliver them to participating Whole Foods Markets, which are serving as collection centers.
