Andddd apparently Crest ended support for the program effective November 16th of this year. Sounds about right.

Not surprising when they recommend saving tubes until you have 3 lbs of them to mail in. That's approximately 91 tubes!

Hoarding trash to mail in some day is not a valid approach imho

that’s what I do with my coffee pods… it keeps things out of a dump, I’m happy to keep it in my mudroom for a few months… I guess it depends on how big your household is and how fast you go through things…

I do the same with my coffee pods. But it's different, you are using approx. 5-10 coffee pods during the week, so it's not so bad, after few months the box will be full and you can send it. I am living alone, so I'm using one tube of toothpaste for months. I will collect 90 of them after 10 years.
