Where to Recycle Wine Corks: WCI Weds

Although I enjoy a good local brew, I’m also a huge fan of wine. Wine bottles are recyclable and you can find local and/or organic wines easily. But what should you do with those damn un-recyclable wine corks?

Not sure where to recycle your wine corks?

Good news – there’s a few options for you!

Where to recycle your wine corks:

Whole Foods has a wine cork recycling drop off!
Terracycle‘s Cork Brigade has a solution – as they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. They’ll take your unwanted natural wine corks, synthetic wine corks & cork stops and turn them into shiny “new” cork boards. (It says they have zero open slots for this project, but they can open up in the future!)
Recork has wine cork drop-off locations at the Philadelphia zoo in South Kensington (1301 N 2nd St
Phila, PA 19122) – so you can visit a neighborhood or pet some animals and recycle the wine corks.
Create your own Corkboard!
