Recycle and Refill

Be Kind to the planet by recycling used candle jars and tins

At A Natural Selection Candle Company we wanted to create a program that was friendly to our environment and beneficial to our customers.  We have designed a Recycle & Refill Program that is a notch above your local city recycling program.
 
With our Recycle & Refill Program you can recycle all of our Glass Jar and Aluminum Tin Candles with your favorite fragrances time and time again and receive an aggressive discount when you do.  Once your candle has extinguished for the very last time simply contact us and we will refill your clean containers and apply a $2 discount for each candle refilled.
 
The program is so simple, just clean out your glass jar or aluminum tin candles, simply pour out the remainder of melted wax then just wash with hot soapy water .  Bring your candle jars to us, decide which fragrance you would like and we will refill your candles and take two dollars off the purchase price of the candle! 
 
Please allow 2 weeks for your candles to be refilled and ready for pick-up.  By recycling your jar or tin candles with us we do not have to order new glass therefore helping our environment! 

 

How to choose eco-friendly candles

Before you burn, here are some attributes to look for and some pointers to keep in mind while on the look-out for eco-friendly candles for any occasion. Extinguishing the use of sooty, petro-based candles is easier than you'd think.

  • Beeswax: Candles made with beeswax are naturally fragrant, nontoxic, soot-free, and non-allergenic. They’re completely renewable and require little, if any, additives. You’ll find that 100 percent beeswax candles are relatively easy to come by and burn longer than regular petro-based paraffin candles.

  • Soy: Candles with soybean-based wax are generally vegan, soot-free, and biodegradable, and like beeswax, they’re renewable. They also burn up to 50 percent longer than paraffin candles and, if spilled, can be cleaned up with soap and water. You won’t find soy candles for your birthday cake or your candelabra since soy wax is soft and therefore usually encased in a glass jar or tin. Keep this in mind when shopping for candles and beware of "soy-blends".

  • Palm oil: Palm oil wax comes from coconuts (the fruit of palm trees) so no plants die during harvesting. Palm oil candles are clean burning and long lasting.

  • Choosing soy, beeswax, or palm oil candles will get you burning more cleanly, but keep in mind that hidden ingredients sometimes sneak their way into natural products, so check labels before making a final purchase. All candles produced by A Natural Selection are made using 100% pure vegetable waxes.
