The scoop
Pact is a nonprofit that collects hard-to-recycle beauty packaging. Its bins are in stores like Sephora and Ulta, but if you can't get to one, you can mail empties in.
Pact asks for a $12 contribution to cover shipping and processing. You request a label, pack 5 to 10 clean empties, and send them off.
