Candle Wax Recycling

Ever wondered how to recycle that partially-burned candle you don't need? We had a couple creative ideas.

EcoFire Starters

Ecofire© is a simple fire starter made from post-consumer cotton (from recycled mattresses) and paraffin from used candles.

EcoFire can be used in camp fires and wood stoves.  The product is long lasting, burns even in wet conditions, and has a pleasant smell. Each piece burns for about 15 minutes.

EcoFire Starters are available at most St. Vincent de Paul retail thrift stores.

Introducing Brick-O-Wax! 

This beautiful product is made from 100% recycled paraffin and is perfect for candlemakers and other crafters. Available in a rainbow of colors, it smells great and is very affordable at $3.50 per two-pound brick. Find it at our Division Avenue store and Chad Drive store.
