Closing the Loop: Our Commitment to the Earth and Your Soul
At The Love U Collective, we believe self-care extends beyond our skin and into the world we inhabit. Every ritual you create with our products is a vote for intentional well-being. Our commitment is to ensure that the tools you use to raise your energy don't leave a heavy footprint on the Earth.
This isn't a "buyback" program—it's an Intentional Flow designed to honor the material life cycle of our packaging. We empower you to take mindful action and reward your commitment to a more conscious world.
Thank you for choosing to flow sustainably with us.
How the Incentive Works
For every clean, empty jar or bottle you return or responsibly recycle, you receive a $2 Store Credit toward your next intentional purchase.
The best part? Your credit never expires and is automatically tracked in your account. The more you flow, the more you save.
If you live near one of our designated drop-off locations, this is the easiest way to return your items and claim your credit.
The Process: Initiate & Drop-Off
- Initiate Your Return: Fill out the quick form here. This step is vital! It links your physical jars to your digital customer account so we can accurately issue your credit.
- Receive Your Unique ID: Immediately after submitting the form, you'll get an email containing a Unique Drop-Off ID.
- Prep & Label: Rinse all jars thoroughly until they are clean (clean jars are happy jars!). Place them in a bag and write your Unique Drop-Off ID clearly on the outside.
- Drop-Off: Drop your labeled bag at your selected location.
We will notify you via email when your $2 per jar credit has been applied to your account (allow 3–5 business days after drop-off for processing).

We do not want the financial or environmental cost of return shipping to outweigh our sustainability commitment. Instead, we empower you to be a force for good in your own community!
The Process: Recycle Locally & Show Proof
- Recycle: Once your jars are clean and empty, take them to your local municipal recycling center or place them in your home recycling bin.
- Capture the Intention: Take a clear, well-lit photo of your clean, empty jars/bottles next to your recycling bin or at your local center—the visual proof of your intentional action.
- Submit Your Proof: Email the photo to support@loveucare.com with the subject line: Recycle Proof: [Your Name] and include your best email address and original order number in the email body.
- Receive Your Credit: Once your photo is verified, we will email you to confirm your $2 per jar credit has been applied to your account.

Conscious Recycling Incentive: FAQ
- Do I need to clean the jars?
Yes, please! For both local drop-off and non-local photo proof, all jars must be thoroughly rinsed and free of product residue. Jars that are not clean may not be eligible for credit.
- What products are eligible?
All glass jars, candle tins, and wheat straw plastic (like the wheat jars our body butters and scrubs are packaged in) from The Love U Collective are eligible for the incentive.
- How long does it take for my $2 credit to be applied?
For Local Drop-Offs, allow 3–5 business days after your drop-off date.
For Non-Local Proof, allow 2–3 business days after submitting your photo for verification.
- Can I use my credit immediately?
Once the credit is applied to your account, you can use it immediately on any future order. It never expires, so you can save it up!
- I'm non-local, can I still mail my jars back?
We strongly encourage local recycling to minimize the environmental impact of shipping. We do not provide return labels for this program. Using our Non-Local Proof method is the easiest and most sustainable way to get your reward!
- Can I combine this credit with other offers?
The Store Credit is treated like a gift card balance or an accrued points balance and can typically be used with sales or other discounts offered on our site.
