BOULDER - Alfalfa's Market and the nonprofit Center for ReSource Conservation are among the local companies and groups that have plans to celebrate Earth Day, Monday, April 22.
Boulder-based Alfalfa's plans to kick off a beefed-up recycling program on Wednesday, April 17, in honor of Earth Day, the company said in a press statement. Customers can recycle used baby food pouches, Tom's of Maine personal care items and No. 4 plastic bags at the store under the new program. Alfalfa's will send the items to Terracycle, based in Trenton, New Jersey, to be made into new plastic items such as park benches, backpacks and tote bags.
TerraCycle is now accepting GoGo squeeZ. Send in your pouches. Collect enough during the month of April and you could win 1,000 rewards points plus fun prizes.
How it works:
Collect enough healthy snack pouch plastic packaging to fill up a box or bag (approved waste is listed below).
Remember, the waste does not need to be cleaned or stacked, and always try to reuse a shipping box or bag!

Zahnbürsten gehören nicht in den gelben Sack. Doch entsorgt man sie über den Restmüll, werden sie verbrannt und ihr Materialwert geht unwiederbringlich verloren.
