LUCEDALE, Mississippi -- LC Hatcher students earn money and prizes for their school by collecting and recycling the drink pouches they use at home and in the lunchroom. LC Hatcher students have just reached the second level of TerraCycle and Capri Sun's Drink Pouch Brigade milestone contest by collecting more than 18,000 drink pouches. The students have earned almost $1,600 for their school by collecting the drink pouches. The Drink Pouch Brigade is a free recycling program that rewards people for collecting and sending their waste to TerraCycle to be recycled or upcycled. The Milestone Program began in September 2013 when Capri Sun added prizes for collecting certain amounts. Now, in addition to the money they earn for each piece of waste collected, participants can win prizes made from recycled drink pouches, such as park benches, recycling bins, a playground, and other fun rewards. "The Milestone Program is meant to inspire individuals and organizations to collect more waste while receiving prizes for their achievements," said Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle. "It is rewarding to see the students and administration get so involved in making this work," he said. "It's an incredible achievement to have kept so many pouches out of the waste stream." Thousands of other schools across the United States participate in the Drink Pouch Brigade. To learn more about the program or to sign up, visit www.terracycle.com. The program is free to any interested organization or individual, and all shipping costs are paid. In addition, for each piece of waste received, participants earn money for a charity of their choice.

T.L. Rodes Elementary School won on the third level of a recy- cling contest last month. The school provided TerraCycle Inc. with 40,000 Capri Sun pouches. The corporation in exchange will congratulate T.L. Rodes with a vinyl banner, 50 TerraCycle wrist- bands and over $1,200. Where will the money go that the school will receive? “Rebecca Reeves, a teacher at T.L. Rodes, says that no definite decisions have been made about what the money will be used for, but she thinks that at least part of it will be used to add some equipment to the play ground.” Rachel Zuckerman, TerraCy-cle Inc. representative, said. The Drink Pouch Brigade® is a free recy-cling program that re-wards people for collect- ing and sending their waste to TerraCycle to be recycled or up- cycled.

An esti- mated 78,236 col- lection loca- tions are involved in The Drink Brigade, in- cluding schools, homes, etc. In addition, the Brigade has raised $4,135,046, thus far. TerraCycle has been collecting drink pouch- es for several years; since 2007, a total of 214,998,780 drink pouches have been reported. “Hopefully, T.L. Rodes will continue to participate every year and receive an even higher level next time,” Rachel said.
