JJC Recycles More Than 250 Pounds of Pens, Markers; Donates Earnings to Charity

After five years of collecting more than 250 pounds of pens and markers, Joliet Junior College and its Sustainability Committee are recycling the massive collection to Terracycle, a company that prides itself on both recycling and upcycling almost any form of waste. In addition, JJC’s efforts will also make a social impact: Terracycle rewards its contributors using a point system that equals donations to three charitable organizations: Charity: Water, Carbon Fund, and Eco Schools USA.
