Shrewsbury - At the end of May 2010, a group of Shrewsbury kids started collecting empty juice pouches and snack bags in an effort to clean up the planet and raise money for Shrewsbury public schools. With the help of the Floral Street School and an eco-friendly company called The Dumpster Divers, they have collected over 2,000 pieces of trash in just over two months. This non-recyclable waste will be sent to another eco-friendly company called Terracycle, which collects all types of trash and uses it to make new creative new products to sell in major stores across the country.
