Grace Christian Child Care is excited to announce we have teamed with TerraCycle and Huggies Brand to begin recycling plastic diaper and wipe packaging at our facility. Every year millions of pieces of plastic diaper packaging end up in the garbage. We are working with Terracycle and Huggies to provide a recycling solution for this waste.
A large gathering is usually where you’ll find them and when you throw the "handy dandy, easy clean up, red solo cups away" the cups will sit in the landfill for 14 years.
Back in 2011 TerraCycle and Solo teamed up to create the Solo Cup Brigade, a disposable solution for the millions of single-use cups sold each year.
Getting involved is incredibly simple. Individuals, schools, offices, non-profits and pretty much anyone signs up on the TerraCycle website. After you’ve collected plastic Solo cups you return them to TerraCycle, who will recycle them into playground equipment, park benches and outdoor furniture.
For every cup received, Solo will donate two cents to Keep America Beautiful or the member’s charity of choice. So you get to help save the environment AND raise profits for a charity. That sounds like a fantastic deal!
Want to get involved and start recycling your Solo cups? Find out more by visiting

Did you know you could be raking in the pennies while doing something that’s good for the environment: recycling?
It all started when I bought five packages of Capri Suns at Kroger to fulfill part of a rebate I was working on. On the back of the package was information about
Terracycle, a company that has kept over 1.2 billion pieces of trash out of landfills while fashioning super cool backpacks, pencil cases, tote bags, trash cans, even cork boards! Even more amazing to me was that they would donate $ .02 per pouch collected, to the school or charity of my choice!
Join us today at the Housing Office at 2:00 p.m. as we learn about the Terracycle program and we create our fun drop off boxes!
“The diapers are very gross, horrible, but the shipping containers hold 100 percent of the smell,” assures
Terracycle’s Albe Zakes. “We tested this by hiding them around the office and seeing if anyone noticed; they did not.”
He may be joking, but the environmental dangers of dirty diapers are serious
business, both in eco-impact and, Terracycle hopes, in profit potential.
Disposable diapers take centuries to biodegrade. The average baby soils about 8,000 of them before toilet training kicks in,
according to the EPA.
Having an environmentally friendly culture isn’t just for big corporations.
Churches that follow biblical Scripture to be good stewards of the environment also are working to lead by example when it comes to living green.
The upcycling experts started their business peddling poop (as fertilizer). Now they’re paying to collect it so they can turn it into park benches

“If you just leave your bag of garbage by your front door I’ll stop by and grab it on my way to work.”
This probably isn’t something most people Facebook message their friends about at 10:00 at night. But, not only is this really a message sent to me from a friend a few nights ago, but I also really did run and, excitedly, pull a bag of garbage I’d been saving for her out of the closet and set it by my front door.
