TerraCycle has turned juice boxes into purses and is looking to recycle diapers. But today, the Trenton company is focused on collecting trash and helping a Bucks County school make money.

Since so much emphasis is placed on recycling at this year’s camp, the church found a program called TerraCycle to help. According to its website, the purpose of TerraCycle is to “eliminate the idea of waste by creating collection and solution systems for anything that ends up in our trash today.” During the camp, children will collect old toothbrushes, Capri Sun packages, old ink pens, and chip bags and give them to Greenway Medical, which has an established program. Greenway will then give the items to TerraCycle which will then write a check back to a nonprofit organization of their choice.

Family housing residents already participate in reducing waste in landfills by recycling paper, cardboard, and plastic and glass bottles and containers. Now they have taken a step toward eliminating waste altogether by joining the Colgate Toothbrush Brigade, collecting toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes and packaging. Once thought of as non-recyclable, toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes and packaging can now be collected and converted in to a wide range of products and materials. In partnership with TerraCycle, a company that provides free waste collection programs for hard-to-recycle materials, Balfour Beatty Communities will provide a collection point and donation pick up dates for the used tooth brush items from residents and send them to TerraCycle who will either upcycle or recycle the waste into new eco-friendly products. This eliminates waste in landfills and even reduces the need for new materials to be extracted from the planet. Products that are made from upcycled or recycled materials include such things as park benches, bags and backpacks, gardening supplies, office supplies, and even toys. For every unit of waste collected and sent to TerraCycle, a donation will be made to the Families of the Wounded Fund. All residents have to do to participate is to drop off their toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and toothbrush packaging in the appropriate bin at the Community Center, 126 Madison Ave. on Fort Eustis. Balfour Beatty and TerraCycle will take care of the rest.

4. If you've ever wondered what to do with empty shampoo bottles and face lotion tubes, we've got a solution: You can send them off to Terracycle where they'll be recycled. Plus, when you sign up for the Beauty Brigade—a partnership with Garnier—you get to donate two cents for each container to your favorite charity or school.

Scène banale, souvent décrite et souvent moquée, les poubelles font parties d’un quotidien qui tolère bien la caricature. Et ce n’est pas notre époque qui va trahir cette réalité. Aujourd’hui, ce n’est plus UNE poubelle dont on s’occupe, mais DES poubelles. Exit la poubelle généraliste où on jetait tout et n’importe quoi. Désormais, il faut compter avec la poubelle à verre, la poubelles à carton & papier, la poubelle des piles, la poubelle des cartouches d’encre… bref,  toutes ces poubelles diverses et variées qui ponctuent de leur présence, notre attachement à une rationalisation plus grande de nos déchets. Pour en savoir plus, il faut se diriger vers TerraCycle France, qui s’est lancé en collaboration avec Bic dans ce processus. La première Brigade est lancée en 2011 et a pour vocation de récolter des instruments d’écriture. Les unités récoltés serviront à produire 3 types de produit : poubelle plastique, pot à crayon et arrosoir.
