Recycling Contact Lenses At Tigard Eyecare
We have been grateful for our opportunity to help keep our planet green for seven years. To date, our patients and this office have returned to recycling over 82 POUNDS of contact lens packaging and materials!
However, due to rising costs, we will be discontinuing our partnership with TerraCycle and Bausch & Lomb’s recycling program, effective Nov 30, 2026. This means we will no longer be accepting contact lenses, blister packs, or metal tops here at the office. We do recommend that you continue to recycle the boxes and metal tops of the contact lens packaging with your local recycler.
Coopervision continues to work toward a greener planet through their partnership with Plastic Bank. Through their Plastic Bank program, CooperVision funds the collection and recycling of ocean-bound plastic waste equal to the weight of plastic used in participating products (such as clariti 1 day and MyDay lenses, including lenses, blisters, and secondary packaging). You can find more information about that at: https://plasticbank.com/client/coopervision/. Please ask us about Coopervision products at your next visit to Tigard Eyecare, especially if you are interested in products that have a green thumb!
We have appreciated the chance for us to help our community in this way!
