Council last month approved the initiative, with several members saying they hope the quirky program will help keep borough streets tidy. The borough is working with Terracycle, a New Jersey-based company that collects and repurposes hard-to-recycle waste. Founded in 2001, Terracycle takes odd items like coffee pods and cigarette butts to transform into plastic pallets and other industrial items. Tobacco is used for compost.
