USED ALIGNER DROP-OFF

Our green
initiative is clear

Used aligner drop-off at Dr. Shems in Falmouth, Maine.

We take great satisfaction in our commitment to recycle and mitigate the excessive plastic waste plaguing our planet.  We understand that millions of plastic aligners end up in the trash, then landfills, contributing to our planet’s plastic waste crisis.

Turn in your used aligners and plastic wrappers to our designated recycling drop box at our entrance. 

We teamed up with TerraCycle, a nonprofit organization working to reduce the flow of plastic waste into our global water sources. Explore more about their innovative recycling processes at the terracycle.com, where discarded plastic gets a second life as playgrounds, construction materials, and so much more.

Look for signs throughout the office about other measures we are taking to protect our planet!
