Second Flame Program

Give your candle jars a second life — and save while you do it!

At Thread & Crumb, we believe sustainability starts at home. Our Second Flame Program helps reduce waste by giving your empty candle jars and tins a fresh start — whether you want to reuse them yourself, send them back for a refill, or simply get rewarded for recycling.

How It Works

Step 1: Use your candle until the scent fades.

Step 2: Clean out your empty jar or tin — no wax residue, please!

Step 3: Choose one of two great options:

  • Refill your vessel: We’ll sanitize and refill your jar with your favorite scent at a special discounted refill rate.

  • Receive a discount: Send back your clean jar and get a discount code for your next Thread & Crumb purchase.

Step 4: Ship your empty jar or tin to us using our easy return form and shipping instructions.

FAQs

  • A: Please remove all wax and residue. A quick hot water rinse usually does the trick. The cleaner, the easier it is for us to sanitize and refill.

  • A: Unfortunately, we can only accept jars and tins that are intact and reusable. If your jar is cracked or chipped, please recycle it locally.

  • A: After submitting your return form, we’ll provide detailed shipping instructions and the address to send your vessel.

  • A: Once we receive your jar, it typically takes 5-7 business days to clean, refill, and ship it back (if you choose the refill option).
