Candy Wrappers for a Cause
TerraCycle Mars Include USA
Klein is very creative when it comes to sources of support for SCRAP-DC and saw TerraCycle’s national Brigade program as an opportunity to raise money and awareness about creative reuse. TerraCycle, an upcycling and recycling company, has a nationwide Brigade Program through schools, churches, and other nonprofit organizations to collect waste streams.
To date, over 24 million Brigade supporters have removed over 2 billion waste products from traditional waste streams and raised over $3 million for nonprofits. SCRAP-DC is registered for Terracycle’s Candy Wrapper Brigade, which accepts candy wrappers for Mars, Wrigley and Cadbury products.
