In the United States, 50 million pounds of toothbrushes end up in landfills each year. It’s important to replace your toothbrush often for good hygiene, but this is crazy! A more eco option? Buy recycled toothbrushes. Another good option is to buy replaceable head toothbrushes, which will save you cash as well, after the initial investment.
Some good options for recycled toothbrushes can be found at local health food stores, such as Whole Foods. Or check out some of these options online:
