SOUTHAVEN – Students and teachers at Sacred Heart School are the top collectors of lunch kits in the Lunch Kit Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by the trademark student lunch and snack company Lunchables Lunch Combinations and New Jersey-based waste recycler TerraCycle. By collecting waste from lunch kits of any brand, the school has helped to divert 5,358 units of lunch kit waste from landfills. After they sign up to join a recycling Brigade, schools earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle. The points can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the non-profit or school of the collector’s choice. TerraCycle recycles the traditionally non-recyclable lunch kit waste into new products and materials. “We’re very proud of the work that students and teachers at Sacred Heart School have done for this Brigade,” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky. “We love working with Lunchables to celebrate and reward schools doing such great things for the environment.” Any schools or organizations interested in recycling with TerraCycle can learn more about the brigades and sign up for free at www.terracycle.com.
