Have you ever wondered what to do with the casing and last section of wax remaining when a candle has burnt out? Balfern Grove can help keep candles out of landfill, where they can take up to 1000 years to decompose.
Balfern Grove accept donations of any size of candles and whilst they can accept coloured and scented candles, they do ask that white, unscented candles are prioritised. The company then handcrafts new candles made entirely from the recycled wax, which are made available on their online shop.
If you would like to find out more about the process or set up an ongoing collection visit their website to find out more.
Even if this isn’t any option for you please remember to recycle the remaining plastic, glass or metal from your used candles wherever possible.
