There are no system currently in place to recycle water filters in the United States. The Clorox Company, the manufacturer for the Brita Water Filter systems, are doing nothing about it. They are the industry leader in the market of "pitcher" filters and 2nd in the market for the filters you attach to the faucet. However they want you to throw out the old filters and let them sit in landfills for millions of years. As you may have read in previous posts I have asked you to stop buying bottled water and use filtered water. Now the lesser of two evils can get better. Please visit the site and and read more about where you can send your old filters, or sign a petition, or just track who is recycling where.
Visit the site, Take Back the Filter

Please sign the petition, send in the old filters, send them to me I'll send them in for you. So I ask now, what are you gonna do?
