ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Blueprint: Oconee Students squeeze extra funds out of juice containers

TerraCycle Kool-Aid Capri Sun (Kraft) Include USA
One group of Oconee County elementary school students has managed to put a dent in that mountain of foil and plastic one lunch period at a time. Fifth-graders at Malcom Bridge Elementary School have collected about 20,000 juice pouches, the kind used by Capri Sun and Kool-Aid, since September. They can't be recycled locally, but the students send them to an out-of-town company that pays them 2 cents a bag for their trouble.
