ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Westford Kid Pioneers Community-Based Upcycling Program

TerraCycle Include USA
An environmentally conscious youngster, Leighton was first introduced to Upcycling in his Third Grade classroom. Sustainable Westford’s Upcycle It! Program encourages local schools to collect items such as granola bar wrappers and chip bags, that can’t typically be recycled. These items are then sent to a company called TerraCycle (http://www.terracycle.com/) that creates useful items and pays per item donated.
