The students and teachers at Woodlawn Elementary School were rewarded with $300 and an official TerraCycle collection bin through the Lunch Kit Regional Rally, a contest sponsored by TerraCycle and Lunchables Lunch Combinations. The school won simply by recycling traditionally non-recyclable waste through the Lunch Kit Brigade, a free recycling program that accepts lunch kit plastic trays, lunch kit plastic lids, lunch kit plastic film and outer wrapping, and lunch kit contents packing, regardless of brand. For each piece of waste collected through this free program, the students and teachers at Woodlawn Elementary School earn points that can be put toward charity gifts or converted to cash and paid right back to the school. TerraCycle recycles the collected material into various products, including trash cans, picnic tables and watering cans. “Woodlawn Elementary School is among the top collecting schools nationwide in the Lunch Kit Brigade. (Its) efforts have not only helped their school and community, but also the planet by proving small changes can made a global impact,” said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle CEO. “I’m delighted to reward the students and teachers for their recycling efforts by giving the school a well-deserved monetary donation and an official collection bin.” To encourage schools to send less to landfills, Lunchables Lunch Combinations gave a total of $1,440 to participants across the country. The winners were chosen based upon the amount of lunch kit packaging that was collected by the participants.
