Wine cork recycling in the US

Ever wondered what to do with all those pulled corks? Yemm & Hart, a green materials company is looking for a half-ton of corks to begin manufacturing coasters, clipboards, and flooring. Do the right thing and send your corks by USPS or UPS to:

Wine Cork Recycling
Yemm & Hart Ltd

Marquand  MO  63655-9153

I'm starting a pile today. I hope you do too.

Do you know anyone that takes synthetic corks? Also, is Corks4Kids still taking cork donations? I couldn't get through their posted e-mail.

Those are great ideas. I created a large cork board, but I still have more corks to use!

I have collected hundreds of corks and would like to donate them to a charity similar to "Korks for Kids" above, but I am having trouble finding one in my area. I live in Connecticut. Any ideas?

I make a variety of corkboards (bulletin boards) using recycled corks and old windows. I donate all of the proceeds of the sales of these items to a cancer hospital, the City of Hope. I gladly accept donations of corks, please send them my way!

I am still looking for wine corks to recycle. If you ship them to me at Wine Cork Art & Accessories, PO Box 155, Old Ocean, TX 77463-0155. Include your address and I will refund your shipping charges. Thanks, G. McNeil

We save our corks for customers wanting them for craft projects...I suggest seeking out your local wine shop or small restaurant and ask them to save corks for you, if you so desire!

[The Corkdork]

Cathy, please either post your mailing address for corks or send it to me by email at thecorkdork (at sign) gmail (dot) com and I'll forward to those who inquire. Corkdork

I am in need of corks!! I want to do a craft project at the nursing home where my mother in law lives. I have been promising them we would make bulletin boards as soon as I gather enough corks. I would pay the shipping costs if you have the corks!! Thanks, Cathy

[sheri rexrode]

I have been saving wine and champagne corks for years now. I know that my supply could benefit any organization for recycling. If you are still in need of wine corks, please respond. Thanks, Sheri

Wow, Mike! That'll hold a million bottles of wine! Not sure if there's enough recycled cork to be had for that kind of storage. Good luck.

[Mike Cleary]

I am developing a 11 story 500,000 sq ft cold storage building that has floors walls and ceilings with 4" to 8" of cork contiguous to the cold storage areas in the building. I am looking to see if there is a chance to recycle the cork product in the building.

I have been looking for a place to send wine corks. They will be on the way to you shortly! Now I am looking for a place to recycle light bulbs too.
