Recycling has come a long way from just simply separating paper, plastic and aluminum.  Today almost all materials can be recycled; from old cell phones and computers to tires and used car batteries.  Whether it’s making a swing from an old tire or using prescription bottles to store buttons, you can usually find a new use from something old. We’ve come across some unique organizations that are upcycling or turning old into new that we’d love to share with you: TerraCycle Terracycle has created various waste collection programs that take previous waste items and convert them into new products ranging from recycled park benches to upcycled backpacks.  Terracycle collects everything from candy wrappers and chip bags to flip flops and Elmer’s Glue.  Check out the awesome things they are accomplishing through recycling.  www.terracycle.com
