We are grateful for the many who have given us their items to repurpose. Due to overwhelming response, we are currently not accepting any more items until further notice.
Don't know what to do with your trash? One man's trash is another man's treasure! Committed to the Zero Waste Packaging Initiative, we avoid purchasing new materials and we collect reusable items from our community as much as possible. We reward our community by offering them The Conscious Florist (TCF) vouchers that be used for future purchases. Contact us via our Facebook, Instagram or email us at hello@theconsciousflorist.com to arrange a pick-up from your address.
10 Clean Glass Jars = $10 TCF Gift Card
We need glass jars that will be used to do jar floral arrangements (e.g. your empty peanut butter jar, pasta sauce bottle). Collect at least 10 glass jars to receive a $10 TCF voucher. Contact us to drop them off at S678946.
Requirements
- All glass jars must meet the minimum requirements of 7cm (diameter) at the top and bottom, and 12cm (height) in size. Any glass jars bigger than these measurements are accepted. Anything smaller than these measurements will make it very difficult to hold the flowers.
- Odd-shaped jars (e.g. Nescafe jars) should have a minimum of diameter of 7cm at the bottom, 6cm diameter at the top
- Glass bottles will not accepted (e.g. beverage bottles with a thin neck, wine bottles) as they will not be able to hold a bunch of flowers.
- All glass jars must be washed with all labels removed.
Tips on removing the labels: Soak the labels in hot water and peel off labels. For those labels with sticky residues, smear a mixture of baking soda and cooking oil onto the glue, let it sit for about 30 minutes and rinse off with an old toothbrush.
