Have you ever looked at the leftover wax at the bottom of a candle jar and felt a pang of guilt tossing it in the trash? You’re not alone. Every year, tons of candle wax end up in landfills, even though it’s a reusable material that can be purified and transformed.
We have some exciting news for our Santa Barbara community! Mission Refill has officially partnered with WaxLoop, the city’s first local wax recycling center. We are now an official wax drop-off location, making it easier than ever to give your old candles a second life.
What We Accept
WaxLoop purifies used wax to create new, sustainably sourced products. To help them in this mission, you can bring us:
-
Tapered candle ends and pillar candles
-
Wax pucks removed from candle jars
-
All wax types, colors, and scents
A quick note: Please ensure your wax is free of debris or plastic. If you’re planning a major haul (over 5 pounds), just give us a call in advance!
By recycling your wax at Mission Refill, you’re helping us turn waste into eco-responsible beauty. Stop by today and help us close the loop!
