One parent at Lincoln Elementary School has come up with a creative way to raise money for the school while promoting recycling to students.
The school is collecting candy wrappers, Capri Sun pouches and other items for TerraCycle, a company that then turns the recyclables into coolers, lunch bags, and other products sold at major retailers. In return for the items, TerraCycle makes a donation to the school.
Jammie Esker Schaer, who has two children at the school, discovered the idea at a party.
