During the past two months, several Floral Street School students with the help of the eco-friendly organization the Dumpster Divers, collected over 2,000 empty juice box pouches and snack bags, which will be sent to the eco-friendly company Terracycle. Terracycle collects various types of trash and creates new products, such as coolers and backpacks, to be sold in major stores across the country, such as Walmart, Target and Home Depot.
Students at Alain L. Locke Elementary have been collecting items to recycle through
TerraCycle’s campaign to “outsmart waste.” Ms. Adebiyi’s class won the most recent competition by bringing in over 2,000 items! Her class celebrated by having a day without school uniforms.

Jamie Petermann was named the 2011 recipient of the Herbert R. Drinkwater Award and Ryan Freeburg was named the recipient of the Bill Donaldson Award at the city’s annual employees’ award ceremony.
The Drinkwater award, in its 13th year, goes annually to a Scottsdale city employee or employees who set an outstanding example through their volunteerism and dedication to serving others.
Communications Dispatcher Petermann embodies the essence of "serving our community." She has created, organized and managed several programs over the last few years that benefit non-profit organizations such as the Chrysalis Shelter, St. Mary's Food Bank, Scottsdale Senior Center and the city’s Vista Del Camino social services center.
“This individual embodies the essence of serving our community,” said Mayor Jim Lane in presenting the award. “She dedicates her time and effort not only to Scottsdale, but to the entire Valley and even globally.”
She also is an avid supporter of Beat the Heat, a city program that aids seniors and Terracycle, which recycles material into products such as lunch and tote bags. One of her recent projects is “Make a Difference Day” a national campaign which she supports through fundraising and collection efforts.
As of July 2010, Brigade participants can earn a 5x donation credit on their first shipment. That means the first 25 pieces in a large shipment you send in will be credited at $0.10 each. The rest will be credited at the standard rate. Visit TerraCycle’s
website to learn more or to sign up for a Brigade.
