TerraCycle has recognized Heritage K-8 Charter School in Escondido as one of the top 15 participants in one of its national recycling programs. The school is a top collector in Terracycle's Oral Care Brigade, which collects non-recyclable waste such as toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes that would otherwise go to a landfill. The items are collected and returned to TerraCycle, which makes them into affordable eco-friendly products.
