Glass+Recycle

We LOVE our Earth!

General Wax and Candle Company have been recycling their glass for decades!! We take empty candles that were returned and clean them to be refilled and resold for cheaper. Our most popular candle, “Offering Candles” comes with removable labels that peel off without leaving residue so we can efficiently clean the glass and reuse it! Great for you and great for our Earth! It means that glass doesn’t end up in a landfill. We’re all responsible for the health of our Earth.
