Legacy Traditional School in Casa Grande recently has been named part of America’s Best Brigade for 2010 for being one of the top 100 schools in the nation in a recycling program for drink containers. TerraCycle’s Drink Pouch Brigade has helped the organization reach the milestone of 50 million pouches collected and $1 million paid to schools and nonprofits.  Legacy sent its first shipment of Capri Sun drink pouches in December 2009. In the past 12 months, the school has collected more than 47,000.

On the national level a company called TerraCycle believes in a bold goal of eliminating the very idea of waste. Through an extensive network of collection and manufacturing locations, Terracycle is teaming with organizations to have schoolchildren collect trash products such as Ziploc bags, candy wrappers, chip bags, drink pouches and toothpaste tubes — paying 2 cents per product to the charity of their choice. These materials, rather than going to a landfill, are diverted into manufacturing to produce products such as coolers, trashcans, benches, and even fences. Started in 2001 by a college student, TerraCycle has already collected more than a billion different waste products and turned them into a range of products that are sold at stores like Walmart and Whole Foods. So far they have yielded more than $1 million for charity, and the numbers continue to grow.
