Give Your Jars a Second Life
Our Jar Return Program (Since 2023)
At Bee Coco Candle, we believe a truly clean candle doesn't stop at the ingredients. It extends to the entire life of the product — from the wax we pour to the jar you hold, and beyond.
That’s why we’ve been proudly running our Jar Return Program since 2023.
We are dedicated to reducing as much waste as possible to make a positive environmental impact. From our cotton wicks to our coconut‑apricot wax, from recycled packaging to this very program — sustainability isn't an afterthought. It's our goal to ensure every business practice is as earth‑friendly as possible.
✨ Return any clean, unbroken candle jar ✨
up to 10 jars per return
How It Works
| ✅ | Save your spent jars — from Bee Coco Candle or any competitor. Unbroken only, please. |
| ✅ | Don’t worry about leftover wax. We’ll clean them and get them ready for their next life. |
| ✅ | Return them to our Geneva shop or follow our online return instructions (see below). |
| ✅ | Receive a credit code for future online candle purchases. |
📸 Love a good upcycle?
Tag us in a photo of your candle jars’ second life on Instagram @beecococandle — we’ll feature our favorite repurposed jars. And if you can’t find any use for them, just send them back to us.

Why We Do This
Millions of candle jars end up in landfills every year. Most are perfectly reusable or recyclable glass. That never sat right with us.
We started the Jar Return Program because we wanted to make the sustainable choice the easy choice. No more tossing jars in the trash out of convenience. No more guessing whether your local recycling center accepts them (most don’t, due to wax residue).
We take the work off your hands. You return the jar. We clean, recycle, or repurpose it. You save money on your next candle. The planet wastes less.
♻️ “Any brand. Any jar. Just clean and unbroken — we’ll handle the rest.”
— Bee Coco Candle Team
Ready to Return Your Jars?
In person: Visit our shop in downtown Geneva, IL. Bring your clean, unbroken jars (any brand, any amount up to 10 per visit). We’ll apply your credit on the spot for future online use.
By mail (coming soon): We’re working on a mail‑in option. For now, the fastest way is in‑shop. Have questions? DM us on Instagram @beecococandle or email hello@beecococandle.com.
“A truly clean candle doesn’t disappear when the wax is gone. We stay with you — and with the planet.”
