Birdsong Supply Return Program

Birdsong Supply Return Program

Recycle your reusable lab equipment to keep science kits affordable and sustainable! If you have enough items, we will pay for the return shipping, and if you are returning a large volume, you might also receive a discount code.

Eco-Friendly Science

Recycle Your Reusable Lab Equipment

At Birdsong Science Solutions, we believe high-quality science shouldn't create endless plastic waste. Many of our durable laboratory tools, bottles, and hardware are designed to be professionally cleaned, sterilized, and cycled back into the hands of future student scientists.

By recycling your gear, you directly help us keep the costs of these kits lower and more affordable for all families!

Instead of throwing your gear away when your lessons are finished, save it! At the end of your semester or quarter, drop us a line through this Supply Returns page with a quick list of the items you have ready to recycle.

How It Works

We evaluate return requests on a case-by-case basis depending on the volume and type of gear you have collected. If you have enough items, we will pay for the return shipping by sending you a pre-paid label. If you are returning a large volume, you might also qualify for a discount code towards your next order!

Items Eligible for Review (The Reusable List)

Please rinse these out thoroughly with warm water, let them dry, and let us know if you have them ready to send back:

  • Plastic or glass liquid dropper bottles (empty and rinsed)
  • Centrifuge tubes, test tubes, and vials (empty and rinsed)
  • Metal or plastic tweezers and specialized measurement tools
  • Measuring cups, funnels, or specialized hardware

What NEVER to Send Back (The Disposable List)

For health, safety, and hygiene reasons, we cannot accept any biological material or single-use items. Please safely discard the following in your household trash:

  • Used Agar Plates: Never open or return your used agar plates! These must remain sealed and go straight into your black disposal bags.
  • Active Liquids or Cultures: Do not return live slime mold, algae cultures, or leftover mixed liquids.
  • Porous or Single-Use Items: Discard used cotton swabs, filter paper, paper disks, and parafilm tape.

Return Program Launching Soon!

We are thrilled to offer this recycling program to help reduce plastic waste. The official return request form will be enabled once our first wave of science kits begins shipping.

Hang on to your reusable items, and check back here when your experiments are complete!
