Tealight, candle wax, candles
You can turn your old candle wax into new candles (opens in new window) or find out how to remove wax from a tealight (opens in a new window). Alternatively, you can send used candles and wax to reCandled or Renée Materials where they reuse and recycle the materials - details below.
If you are unable to reuse your candle please put it in your general waste bin.
