'The children are so excited'
school TerraCycle raise money recycling Include USA
TerraCycle takes drink pouches, wrappers, corks, yogurt cups, chip bags and other waste. Each is shipped to a specific "brigade" which in turn takes the material and crafts it into unique and functional items for kids and adults.
The recycling program allows almost any school or non-profit organization to save items, keeping them from landfill. TerraCycle will pay 2 cents or more for each item, giving the funds directly to the donating organization.
Since the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, Sloman Primary has earned more than $325.
