Daily Harvest does its best to avoid unnecessary packaging. Since the meals are shipped frozen, they need to be kept in ice packs. However, you can recycle the liner that surrounds the ice, which is made of paper and plant-based materials and it is curbside recyclable. So are the cardboard boxes, the lids, and the cups. The bowls are also made of recyclable molded pulp. The company aims to move towards 100% compostable and recyclable packaging.  Daily Harvest’s subscription is flexible. You can cancel, change, or skip deliveries at any time before 6 PM EST, Sunday, the week before your next scheduled delivery. You can choose the day when you want to receive your order. 

Freshly doesn’t lag behind. Their boxes, cardboard sleeves, and meal containers are all recyclable. The insulation inside the box is mostly biodegradable as it is made of recycled denim.

You just have to make sure you respect the weekly cutoff if you want to skip or cancel orders. This deadline depends on your location, but it is usually 5-6 days.
