Great news! Misfits Market customers in select areas (check your account for details) can leave select packaging out for our drivers to pick up for reuse or recycling when they deliver your order. Misfits Market is the only nationwide online grocer that collects packaging for free. Just one more way you can grocery shop with the planet in mind.
Simply leave your clean gel packs, egg carton liners, and silver insulated liners where we normally drop off your deliveries and we'll collect them on your delivery day.
Clean off your used Misfits Market silver insulated liner(s), gel pack(s), and egg carton liner(s).
The night before your delivery, place them where our drivers normally leave your Misfits Market box (easily edit the Delivery Instructions on your Account Details page to include important info!). Gel packs must be free of tears or leaks.
When we drop off your order, we’ll pick up your silver insulated liners, egg carton liners and gel packs (10 items max).
No need to weigh your trash bag down—we'll collect your gel packs and work with local partners to sanitize and reuse them.
If they're leaking, or you prefer to recycle your gel packs at home, please drain them completely and drop them in the recycling bin or at a flexible film recycling drop-off location.
Note: If you see “Drain Safe” on your gel pack, the gel is safe to go down your drain. Otherwise pour the contents into your trash can.
