THE TERRACYCLE RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR JUICE POUCHES EARNS SCHOOL A CASH
REWARD.
When students at St. Charles School see a certain juice pouch, they don’t just think “juice.”
They also think about reducing school trash and bringing in 2 cents per juice pouch for their school.
Special education teacher and Student Council advisor Jill Flemming also sees teachable math moments.
Since this past September, the school has been sending Capri Sun juice pouches to TerraCycle.
This school year, St. Charles students, who ended their school year Tuesday, recycled more than 11,000 juice bags, Flemming said Wednesday morning—11,072 to be exact. The recycling idea came, she said, when students were doing an annual walk in September against diabetes. The boxes of juice bags that the Student Council dispensed during the walk said, Flemming pointed out, “Recycle with TerraCycle.”
Visitors who bring specially marked Polly-O String Cheese packaging to Six Flags will receive $15 off general admission any day of the week, or a free kids ticket with purchase of general admission on a weekday.
Six Flags and Kraft have teamed up with TerraCycle to collect and recycle the cheese packaging. Normally, this packaging is not recyclable in most areas of the country , and this is the first time it will be recycled! TerraCycle will make the packaging into eco-friendly plastic products including trash cans, flower pots, plastic plywood, park benches, and picnic tables.
Visitors can continue recycling packaging that is usually non-recyclable by signing up for TerraCycle's Brigade program, through which these items are collected. For every piece of trash that a Brigade sends in, they will receive two points, which can be put towards a specific charity gift or converted to cash and donated to the participant's charity of choice.

As residents prepare for Fourth of July and other summer parties, they have a new option for their non-recyclable trash: send it for free to TerraCycle to be, indeed, recycled. TerraCycle collects difficult-to-recycle food packaging such as Frito-Lay chip bags, Kraft Singles cheese packaging, Scott paper towel and napkin wrapping, and Solo plastic cups.
Anyone can send in their used products and packaging to be upcycled and recycled. For every piece of packaging that TerraCycle receives, participants are awarded with two points, which can be put toward buying a specific charity gift or converted to money and donated to a charity of the participant’s choice.
