It's important to consider that the most effective way to recycle Hi-Cone ring carriers is to include them in local recycling programs, wherever #4 LDPE or mixed plastics are collected. This is the most environmentally friendly way to recycle your rings for several reasons.

• Saves on the fuel that is consumed in the shipping of the rings from one location to another.

• Saves on the packaging that is required for shipping the rings, which, in turn, creates more materials to be recycled.

• Increases the success of your local recycling programs, helping to ensure their continued growth.

Using Local Recycling Sources:

For these “green” reasons, it is best that you check to see what local recycling sources are available to you first. Here are two good sources to check to see if #4 LDPE is collected in your area:

If, however, recycling of #4 LDPE does not exist in your area, you can join our free Ringleader recycling program!

Ring Leader Recycling Program is designed for both formal and informal educational venues to help minimizing the damaging effects of litter on the environment. The Ring Leader Recycling Program is an educational experience, involving recyclable six-pack rings and the Three R's — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

After you join the Ring Leader Recycling Program, you will receive a FREE kit (one per group) containing a tree, and information on returning the rings for recycling (postage paid by Hi-Cone).

Joining the program is an easy, three-step process:

• Confirm an interest with your group or school.


• Join the program by filling out the form to receive a FREE kit (one per school or group).


• Implement your recycling efforts as a total school project with kit materials received from Hi-Cone.

Once you have implemented the Ring Leader Recycling Program, you can order additional supplies from Hi-Cone when necessary.

It's become so natural for us to throw everything waste-related into the garbage — almost without thinking. In order for recycling to be successful, it takes time to realign behavior and create environmental awareness through education.

Because of this, we require a minimum three-year commitment to participate in our Ring Leader program. The time is needed to establish these new recycling behaviors and show the seriousness and commitment of your institution to everyone involved.

If you are already a member, and you would like to order more supplies for the Ring Leader Recycling Program, please fill out the Member Order Form.

To join the Ring Leader Recycling Program, please provide information required by the following form (USA only).
