ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Grown Berlin Green brings TerraCycle to Berlin

TerraCycle Include USA
TerraCycle is an ecologically friendly company that takes your garbage and upcycles it into green products and then sells it to many big box retailers, resulting in less trash in our waste stream. The company has developed a process that turns chip bags, cookie wrappers, and other plastic based wrappers into plastic items such as coolers and trash cans, and aluminum is upcycled into pavers, bricks and more. Grow Berlin Green <http://www.growberlingreen.org>  has two collection receptacles secured next to the paper/cardboard recycle containers on Williams Street. Save your product wrappers as you would your glass bottles, cardboard and newspapers and deposit them in the appropriate receptacle bins.  They collect and sort the trash, then send it to TerraCycle. In return, Grow Berlin Green receives will receive a check twice a year based on the amount of collected garbage sent in, and then give it back to the Berlin community.
