Elizabeth Seton students turn trash into cash
capri-sun school TerraCycle Include USA
The Ecology Club at Elizabeth Seton High School in Bladensburg has found a creative way to get rid of trash like candy wrappers and old juice drink pouches.
The students have partnered with a company called TerraCycle, which pays two cents for each piece of refuse collected and turns the garbage into products like backpacks, coolers and even fences.
In less than a year, students have collected more than 3,200 pieces of refuse, raising money to help pay for new recycling containers for the school.
