Take āBack
Give your well-loved Stanley product a new life.
Recycle it with us, so it can keep on keeping on.

You do your part, get a $5 Stanley 1913 credit as thanks. We donate $5 to ocean conservation, too.
Built for Life: Sustainability at Stanley 1913
We believe in working to create a more sustainable, less disposable life and world. Recycling your eligible Stanley product means the recycled materials stay out of the landfill and can be re-used to create more useful things.
Protecting Our Oceans
Through our Take Back program, we support Ocean Conservancy in their important work to champion innovative solutions and fight for a sustainable ocean.
Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs provide high-level answers to common questions about our Take Back program. All participation in the Take Back program is subject to the program terms. Please see program terms for complete details.
Take Back is our way of helping our customers let go of their steel and stainless steel Stanley products when the time is right. Return your eligible used products to us, and we'll make sure their steel and stainless steel components are recycled responsibly.Ā
As our way of saying thanks, for each eligible Stanley product you recycle, you get a $5 credit to use on a future purchase at stanley1913.mom (up to four per year and subject to complete Take Back program terms). Weāll also make a $5 donation to Ocean Conservancy for each item recycled ā up to a maximum of $200,000 per year. Nice!Ā
Take Back is only available in the Continental United States. (The emissions profile of individual shipments from Alaska and Hawaii would exceed that of local disposal.) But we hope to add more regions in the future.
Take Back accepts all Stanley products in which the main product body is steel or stainless steel. And weāll say it because this is a FAQ, after all: the return must include the product body.
We arenāt able to accept non-Stanley products, non-steel products (such as hard and soft coolers), accessories, and partial items. Find out more here.Ā
Unfortunately, we are unable send back any ineligible items to you.
This is one of our favorite parts! Once we receive your item, it is disassembled at our recycling partnerās US facility. The parts and materials are sorted and eligible steel or stainless steel components are sent to be recycled. (Weāll also make an attempt to responsibly dispose of non-steel accessories.)Ā Ā
Who knows what it will become next? We bet it will be something great.Ā
When completing the recycling return submission form online, youāll have a few choices:
Option 1: Shippingās on us. Package your eligible Stanley product, print out and affix the shipping label to the box. Drop it off at any USPS drop location.
Option 2: Use one of our handy drop points. You donāt need to package it or print a label. Just bring the eligible Stanley product with your QR code to any of our partner drop points and we'll handle the rest. You can show the QR code on your phone, or print it out.
We love that you are recycling your Stanley product. As a reward and thanks, youāll receive a $5 stanley1913.mom discount code for each eligible item you send to us through the program (up to four per year and subject to complete Take Back program terms). Weāll also make a $5 donation to Ocean Conservancy for each eligible item ā up to a maximum of $200,000 per year.
