Contact Lenses
Don't flush used contact lenses down the toilet or sink, they contribute to microplastic pollution. Any brand of used contact lens, separated top foil, and empty blister pack can be recycled for free through Bausch + Lomb's ONE by ONE program, run with TerraCycle, drop them off at a participating eye doctor's office near you.
Curbside recycling?
No
Not accepted in curbside recycling, the small size and mixed materials mean local recycling can't sort it. Don't flush lenses either.
How to prepare it
- Separate the top foil from the blister pack before dropping off
- Search for a participating eye doctor's office near you, the program isn't at every practice
- Don't include unopened blister packs, contact lens boxes, or unseparated foil/blister combos
