Frequently asked questions

Are candles recyclable?

Candle wax isn’t recyclable. So, while their containers often are, any leftover candle wax is not accepted in curbside recycling bins. There are ways, however, to reuse old candles and leftover candle wax.

One way you can reuse your old candles and wax at home is to gather your used candles and all the small pieces. Grab a large saucepan to melt the wax, then filter it through a sifter or strainer before storing it in a tub, jar or pail for later use. Now you can recycle old glass candle holders, as well as jars and other containers in your home by using them to hold wax.

Can you donate candles?

Yes! Many donation centers like Goodwill accept lightly used candles and upcycle remaining wax from candles. You can easily have your unwanted candles picked up and dropped off for you with junk removal services from LoadUp.

Who offers candle recycling near me?

Finding candle recycling in your area can be difficult but there are options. Some candle companies will offer recycling services themselves, but you typically have to have originally bought the candle from the store. If you’re tired of searching far and wide, just book online with LoadUp and our pros can get you the candle recycling services you need without the hassle.

How to dispose of candles in glass jars?

You should never just throw out a used candle as is, primarily because candle wax can’t be recycled and must be thrown away or reused. In order to properly dispose of your candles in glass jars, you have to clean out all of the wax.

The easiest way to do this is with a butter knife, but you may need to melt the wax to clean it out thoroughly. Most glass jars for candles often have a metal wick holder at the bottom. Remove that and any remaining wax to fully clean out the jar. If you’d rather keep the wax and need help figuring out where to take your old wax for donation or repurposing Just book online and let us handle your candle donation for you.

Where can I take my unwanted candles and wax to be recycled or donated?

Research your local options when it comes to places you can up-cyle or reuse candles in your area. Call your favorite thrift shops and other donation sites to ask! Many have the resources to recycle and repurpose wax if you don’t have the time or means yourself.
