Local School Trades Trash for Cash
TerraCycle Include USA
Ohlone Elementary School's recycling program is raising funds for school needs.
Bags of chips, candy wrappers, tubs of butter…there’s very little that won’t earn a buck at Ohlone Elementary School these days.
The school’s growing TerraCycle program allows these items and more to be recycled to earn funds that will be allocated by the school’s Parent-Teacher Association to finance classroom necessities. So far, the school has raised about $240.
“Once we get our collection bins set up and volunteers organized, we plan on holding a big recycling drive to get the Ohlone community excited,” said PTA treasurer Catherine de Leon. “At some point, we hope to get the rest of the Hercules community involved as well.”
