ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Toothpaste tubes, floss containers make a playground for Jersey City charter school

TerraCycle Oral Care Brigade Colgate Include USA
On the surface, the new playground that was unveiled Tuesday morning at the BelovED Community Charter School looks like any other in the city. It definitely receives the same reaction from kids, who looked at the slide and the monkey bars with wide eyes, and wide smiles. The school playground, which is the first for the school, was built using recycled toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and floss containers. The school itself won the playground as part of the Recycled Playground Challenge, a competition that was set up by Colgate, ShopRite, and the recycling company TerraCycle, which is based in Trenton.
