A breast pump is an indispensable tool for any breastfeeding mom. The thing is, no mom knows what to do with it after their kids have weaned. Normally, their breast pump is either given away or thrown out. Medela is changing that with Medela Recycles. It’s a program that allows a mom to recycle her breast pump.
Help Others by Recycling Your Breast Pump
Medela has launched an important recycling campaign called Medela Recycles. The company created the program in response to a petition launched on change.org by an eco-conscious mother who wanted a way to properly dispose of old breast pumps and keep them out of landfills. Medela recognized the importance of this idea, and Medela Recycles was born.
Medela took this idea one step further when they developed their recycling program. Medela Recycles is more than a way for a mom to recycle her old breast pump. It’s also a way for moms to help other moms in addition to helping the environment.
That’s because when a mom recycles her breast pump through Medela recycles, she’s helping Medela provide a donation of two Symphony Preemie+ breast pumps every month to a Ronald McDonald House. With these breast pumps, mothers with babies in the NICU have the equipment they need to continue to provide breast milk for their babies. It’s a way for mothers ending their breastfeeding journey to help mothers who are just beginning that journey.
Medela Makes it Easy to Recycle Your Breast Pump
Medela is committed to making it easy for moms to recycle their breast pumps. They want to encourage that a breast pump be recycled rather than make its way to a landfill. In fact, to date, almost 8,000 breast pumps have been recycled, and Medela is striving to meet a goal of 12,000 recycled pumps this year. They even have a breast pump recycle page that allows moms to print a pre-paid postage label to ship their old Medela breast pump for recycling.
Recycling Your Breast Pump Helps Other Moms
Medela makes it so easy to recycle your breast pump, there’s no reason not to do it. You’ll be keeping your breast pump out of the landfill. You’ll be helping another mom get a much needed breast pump. Heck, Medela even pays for you to ship it to them. If you’re a mother at the end of breastfeeding journey, I encourage you to recycle your breast pump with Medela. It helps the environment and it helps other moms.

Thank you for visiting Sugar, Spice and Family Life!
I like the ease that it is to use
I love that it’s a double hands free pump!
I like that it’s compact so it travels well Or put in your robe pocket.
I love the idea that these are recycled so that other new mommies have a chance at one–they are very expensive–great giveaway
I like that this pump is mobile and portable.
I love that it is lightweight and mobile!!
I love that it is lightweight and compact!
I had one until it died a couple months after my son was born 🙁 (It was also used it my daughter previously) It was such a wonderful lightweight and easy to use pump. I think it is wonderful they are doing a “recycle” program with these. it always seemed to me like such a waste to throw it away. I even contacted them about getting a new motor but I guess they don’t do that from what they tell me.
I like that the battery is rechargeable
I like that this set includes everything I need for on-the-go pumping!
I love that it has a rechargeable battery!
I like that the pump comes with a rechargeable battery. It offers more freedom for mom’s who may not have a dedicated space to pump when they have to return to work.
I love that it is lightweight and small enough to go in my diaper bag!
A re-chargeable battery.
It looks easy to use and it’s convenient that it comes with extra bottles and a cooler bag. Several of my friends swear by this breast pump, so I would love to have one for my second baby coming. I can’t even remember the brand of the one I used for my first baby – it came with my insurance, but it didn’t work particularly well.
i like that it is discreet and i could pumop anywhere
I love that you can pump on the go and it powdered by a battery.
I love that you can take this with you, and it’s so easy to use! It’s so nice that it comes with the bag to keep the milk cold. This is an awsesome pump, I used to have an older model!
I love that it’s discreet and super quiet.
I like that it’s compact and comes with a carrying case that holds all the essentials. You can just grab it and go!
I like how quiet it is.
I love that this is electric and easy to use and recharge. I also love that you can set up your own pumping sessions. Thank you for this opportunity to win
I love that it’s easy to use and how quiet it is!
It’s easy to recycle your pump
I like that it light weight
I like the memory finction. That would help me stay focused on my let down and not on turning nobs
Madela is a great brand. The only one I trust.
I love the hands free pump
I like that it has a Digital display which features a memory button, timer and backlight.
I love that it has a rechargeable battery.

I love that it is electric and can pump both breasts at the same time. Many years ago I tried to use a manual pump for my first child. It was a nightmare. So much so that I never tried again with my other 2 children. Now that we are trying to conceive one last time, I would love to have a chance to enjoy the comparative ease and speed of a high quality, name brand, dual electric pump.
I think that it is amazing it has backlit digital display, timer and memory button
I love the memory button that helps you personalize and control your pump sessions.
I like that you can take it anywhere and it is easy to use.
