The “beauty brigades” started in every residence hall bathroom on Rider’s campus. Green buckets, adorned with pictures of cosmetic packaging and various personal hygiene bottles accompanied by a list of accepted empty containers, mysteriously appeared in both men’s and women’s restrooms. The only other signal for the fate of these empty bottles was a logo that read “TerraCycle.” The founder of TerraCycle, entrepreneur and environmentalist Tom Szaky, was a special speaker for Rider in 2008.
