New 'trashy' reality TV show focuses on recyclers

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Talk about trashy television. A new reality show debuting Friday will focus on a New Jersey-based recycling company. The reality docu-drama called "Human Resources" chronicles what it's like to work at the Trenton-based company TerraCycle Inc. TerraCycle was founded in 2001 by then-20-year-old Princeton student Tom Szaky (ZAK-ee). It collects and transforms a range of hard-to-recycle items - from potato chip bags to cigarette butts - into colorful consumer products. It donates a portion of its proceeds to charity.

Go #BTS With TerraCycle Backpacks

Terracycle is a unique company, they take products that would normally end up in the landfill and they turn them into usable products! Products include backpacks, notebooks, tote bags, binders, speakers, and even pencil cases! I think I love about this is, it’s such a great way to recycle non-recyclable products, and it shows kids that products you would normally throw in the trash can be made into usable products for not only around the house but also school. My daughter is the type of child that will reuse everything to make new things with it, her bedroom is a mess, but she is being creative and saving things from the landfill so how can I get on to her for that! This school season before you send those kiddos off, head on over to Terracycle and check out all those school items that were made with someones trash! Not only are the products unique they’re durable and would make the perfect addition to those back-to-school wardrobes. We received a Clif Kid backpack to check out. I found this backpack to be well made and unique. I also found it to be perfect for those that are in the elementary grades. It’s perfect to carry their school work. We will be using ours for geocaching. With having a love for geocaching and loving that this company recycles non-recycle items makes it the perfect backpack for our wilderness adventures. If you would like to get involved in saving the landfills, you can collect products and send them to Terracycle to be turned into reusable products! Simply head to the site to learn how, this would be a great way to get your kids involved in helping save the planet. Make sure to follow Terracycle on their social media channels to stay up to date on any new products they may have.
