In preparation of Earth Day coming up on April 22, 2023, The Krazy Coupon Lady is always hunting for the latest Earth Day deals or giving all the info on stores that reward you for recycling. And in March 2023 Hydro Flask has unveiled their first-ever āWater Bottle Trade-In Programā in the U.S., where people can trade in their old, broken, or unused Hydro Flask bottles and Hydro Flask stainless steel items for recycling and in return receive a $5 store credit to be used on HydroFlask.com.
According to Hydro Flask, since stainless steel bottles are not recyclable by most curbside recycling programs and end up in a landfill, they started this initiative to make sure their bottles are recycled properly. Hereās how the trade-in program works, how to get the $5 coupon, and more.

How to trade in a Hydro Flask you no longer use for a $5 coupon
Ā
Hydro Flask promises that your old products will be ārecycled efficiently and properlyā once they receive the item. Even better, you donāt need to package your item to trade it in. Hereās how to start the process:
- Register your product and print shipping label.
- Empty contents of the Hydro Flask youāre trading in.
- Keep any caps, lids, boots, or straws that youād like to reuse and send them the rest.
- Apply the label to your item and drop off at your nearest FedEx location.
- Hydro Flask receives the item and recycles it.
- You get a $5 promo code to use on a purchase on HydroFlask.com, including on the MyHydro personalization program.
Ā
You can also trade in various Hydro Flask products, not just bottles.
While they cannot accept stainless steel bottles from other companies besides Hydro Flask, you CAN send in other products of theirs, including tumblers, mugs, food jars, bowls, and plates. So if youāve been wanting to spring clean and load off the Hydro Flask items you donāt use anymore, this is a great way to recycle them. However, Hydro Flask bags, totes, and coolers are ānot accepted during this first phase of the Hydro Flask Trade-In program.ā

You will get a $5 coupon for each item you trade in.
If you have more than one Hydro Flask item to return, youāll also be rewarded for it, as youāll get a $5 coupon per Hydro Flask item returned. The promo codes will be emailed to you ā however, they can only be used one code per order. That means you canāt stack two $5 promo codes on one order. So far we havenāt seen a limit on how many items a person can trade in.
To make it easy, you can pack multiple items in a box and put the free shipping label to the package.
Ā
Donāt worry if your Hydro Flask has stickers on it ā itās still able to be traded in.
Hydro Flask explains that stickers āwonāt affect the recycling process.ā For now, Hydro Flask doesnāt have plans to sell the pre-loved bottles they get. āAs we process and assess the items that start to come in, weāll be able to think about next steps in this program,ā they state. āStay tuned.ā
