Effort funds green programs at Nabnasset School in Westford
TerraCycle Include USA
The Upcycle It! program launched in May 2010 with the goal of turning traditional non-recyclables into cash for Westford schools. Through a partnership with the national organization, Terracycle, Sustainable Westford collects items in certain brigades (or categories) for which Terracycle pays 2 cents per item. It quickly gained popularity with local residents contributing tens of thousands of pieces of trash and local schools joining the cause supported by Superintendent Everett “Bill” Olsen.
