How to Recycle Your Beauty Products
So much of our beauty products end up in landfills, even when they’re
thrown in the recycling bin. That’s because some things—like pumps
and mascara tubes—can’t be recycled.
With our Re/Purpose Beauty program we’ve made it easier for you
to recycle the hard-to-recycle and rewards you for doing it.

How it works:
Step One
Empty, rinse and dry your products.
They must be less than 60 mL
(think: the size of a yogurt cup).
Step Two
Bring them to your nearest
Hudson’s Bay location and look for
the bins in our beauty department.
Step Three
Confirm you are a Hudson’s Bay Rewards
member and get $5 back in Rewards points
for every five containers you recycle.*
