ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Dutch Hill Elementary students sort recycling, compost, trash

TerraCycle Capri Sun (Kraft) Include USA
A program through New Jersey recycling company TerraCycle also allows the school to collect bags of used Capri Sun pouches and turn them in for cash. They netted about $100 last year. Some students are in a hurry to get to recess and try to bypass the recycling or compost by stuffing all of their waste into a plastic bag and dropping it in the trash bin. “There's a little bit of dumpster-diving involved,” Stamatiou said, reaching one gloved hand in to fish a juice box out of the compost bin. “But they do really well. The little kids actually do better than the older kids.”
