Crossroads Of Western Iowa becomes one of the top state collectors in lunch kit recycling program
TerraCycle Lunchables Include USA
Employees at Crossroads of Western Iowa are among the top collectors of lunch kits in the Lunch Kit Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by Lunchables Lunch Combinations and TerraCycle.
By collecting used lunch kits, the office has helped to divert 1,291 units of lunch kit waste from landfills.
After they sign up to join a recycling brigade, organizations earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle.
The points can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the non-profit or school of the collector’s choice. TerraCycle recycles the traditionally non-recyclable lunch kit waste into new products and materials.
“We’re very proud of the work that the employees at Crossroads of Western Iowa have done for this Brigade,” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky. “We love working with Lunchables to celebrate and reward businesses doing such great things for the environment.”
Any schools or organizations interested in recycling with TerraCycle can learn more about the brigades and sign up for free.
