The association bought 15 new bins made from recycled plastic from a New Jersey company called
TerraCycle Inc., which sells a variety of products from recycled trash and materials. Under a recycling program the company offers, TerraCycle will haul away the cigarette waste and “up-cycle” it into useful products. The association, in turn, gets a discount on the bins: $50 each rather than the list price of up to $300.
Toothbrushes
We assume 10 out of 10 dentists want you to recycle your toothbrush. Unless one of those dentists just
hates the earth (
RIP Cecil the Lion).
TerraCycle recycles toothbrushes, as well as other items that don't quite fit the recycling bin. Check out their entire list for even MORE items that you can donate rather than junk.

In partnership with TerraCycle Inc., a New Jersey recycler, the nonprofit group recently installed 15 long, gray receptacles for recycling cigarette butts. The association invested about $1,000 in the program, the first of its kind in Los Angeles. It is aimed at taking a small step toward tackling the huge problem of cigarette waste. “We’re trying to change behavior here,” said Andrew Thomas, the association’s executive director. “We have a lot of smokers in Westwood, for better or worse.”
Basil Bandwagon is a collector of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by MOM Brands and TerraCycle. By collecting MOM Brands cereal packaging, they help divert cereal bags from landfills. Clinton residents can help keep additional cereal bags and liners out of the garbage by dropping off empty bags Monday- Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The collected challenge materials will be recycled through TerraCycle, an organization focusing on non-traditional recycling. “We hope everyone in our community will get excited about this,” she said. “It’s an easy and effective way to keep material out of landfills and put them in line to be recycled and reused. It’s not a far-out concept and the whole community can get behind it.”
Aanstaande vrijdag zijn wij er weer voor de eerste keer na de zomerstop. We willen graag weer aan de slag met alle kapotte apparaten, fietsen en kleding van bewoners die er zelf tegen op zien en wat extra ondersteuning hierbij kunnen gebruiken, willen checken wat er nou werkelijk aan de hand is en of het nog wel zin heeft om een apparaat te laten repareren. Er zijn verschillende reparateurs aanwezig die allemaal hun eigen specifieke kennis hebben. Aan het onderzoek zijn geen kosten verbonden. Mocht de reparatie slagen dan vinden wij het fijn om naar eigen draagkracht een donatie te krijgen. Er kunnen ook legen cartridges, kapotte telefoons, lege stiften en pennen ingeleverd worden. Die gaan respectievelijk naar stichting aap en naar Terracycle. Vanaf 14.00 en tot 17.15 uur nemen wij apparaten in. Om 18.00 uur sluiten wij de middag af met een gezamenlijke maaltijd. Ook bezoekers van het Repair Cafe mogen mee aanschuiven bij het PotLuck Diner in de huiskamer van De Nieuwe Banier. Het start om ongeveer 18.00 uur en tot circa 20.00 uur sluiten we met koffie af. Wil je aanschuiven neem dan wat eetbaars mee of doen een kleine financiële bijdrage in de pot!
