mala's recycling program is back!
we know that once a candle tin is used up, it’s often left in the corner or discarded. with your help, we’d love to re-use and upcycle your used candle tin here at mala.
depending on the condition of the tin, these vessels will either be repurposed into a new candle or used behind the scenes as a photoshoot or tester candle.

make sure your candle tins are not dented or damaged!
clean your used candle tins as best as you can - following the tutorials here: freezer method or hot water method. also, please make sure all the labels are removed as well.
return your cleaned tins to your nearest store
the drop off spot will take down your information (name, email, order number/store originally purchased from, and number of tins returned).
view drop off spots here >keep an 👀 out on your inbox for store credit!
return 10 tins (all at once) to receive store credit for a 8 oz candle ($38 value). please note, there’s currently no reward if you return 9 or less tins.
use your store credit!
get rewarded with good smelling candles for returning your tins 😆 store credit will only work on www.malathebrand.com.
we originally had our recycling program open to return just at our own HQ, but we’ve now partnered with a few of our favourite mala retailers to be our official mala “drop off spots”!

pssst... don’t see a store near you? let us know which store and city you’re in and we’ll see what we can do ;-)
can I return less than 10 tins?
definitely! however, at this time we are not offering any store credit if you return less than 10 tins. we may change this in the future!
what if I’m not near any of the drop off spots?
let us know what store or city you have in mind and we’ll work on it! you can also drop off or ship to our warehouse in richmond, bc. email us at hello@malathebrand.com for more details.
what if my tin has scratches on them?
a small scratch or tiny dent is acceptable; larger dents that would deform the shape of the tin/candle inside are not. tins with cracks or holes will not be accepted. please make sure the tin is return with its original lid with no black soot.
