Kimberley-Clark Professional offers a free nitrile glove (and Tyvek) recycling program called RightCycle. They provide collection boxes and labels, however you are responsible for the return shipping cost. You can email them to get started: [email protected]
They have been excellent to work with. TerraCycle offers a similar service which accepts all types and brands of gloves (nitrile, latex, etc). You pay up front depending on the size of your collection box, postage included.
