It’s so good to see people care about the environment. I for one advocate the recycling of plastic all the time.

Recent news press release states that there are certain locations of the Whole Foods stores that participate in the program. I have checked one listed:
Whole Foods (former Capers)in Kitsilano, (Vancouver, BC) on 4th Avenue, 604 739-6676. They said they don’t. Where is a place in Vancouver to recycle these filters. It is ridiculous to claim that they save environment by taking plastic water bottles off the market and dumping the filters instead. Plastic bottles are at least recyclable.

Hi, Terry,

I am so happy that there are people out there pushing for the filters to be recycled. I wonder what would happen if I just start to send the filters back to the company?

The one and only thing is WHY IS CLOROX trying to enter the “Green Market”. Unbelievable.
Because it is a mulit-billion dollar industry that everyone wants a piece of. Becareful especially with Burt’s Bees because the products will change!
Also, be very cautious when purchasing vitamin supplements because the pharmaceutical company also wants a piece of the pie and several companies are taking over vitamin companies.
Research, research, research and ban all COLOROX products.
They produce BLEACH which is the worst fort the environment!!!

I think there is more too it than simply opening the filters and recycling the plastic.
The filters has been capturing and concentration any toxins in the water including heavy metals over a period of months. Therefore the used filters are actually quite toxic and should be disposed of properly

What about soaking the filters in vinegar once in a while to be able to reuse them?

Does anyone know how long you can actually use the filters? I know what the company suggest, but that could just be a marketing ploy. Can they really be rinsed out and reused? How long does the carbon stay fresh? I am glad to see there are so many people out there that feel like I do when it comes to reusing and recycling. Thanks.
