Mission Possible: Community wins TerraCycle first-place award

TerraCycle Include USA Dairy Tub Brigade (Kraft) Cheese Packaging Brigade (Kraft)
In May of 2013, Coyote Howling partnered with TerraCycle to provide more meals for children through Feed My Starving Children. In the second quarter of 2014, Coyote rose to the TerraCycle challenge of top collector for the U.S.A. regions. The regions follow: Northeast, Southeast, West, Midwest and Southwest: Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Coyote Howling of Ruidoso won "top collector in the Cheese Packaging Brigade" earning 10,000 bonus points and an up-cycled prize pack; 10,000 points = $100 = 432 meals = 2 full FMSC MannaPack boxes! Coyote Howling also was named one of the four runners-up in the Southwest region winning 2,500 bonus TerraCycle points for the Dairy Tub Brigade = 108 meals. Many, many individuals have made it possible for our village to beat out the rest of New Mexico and all of Texas, Arizona and Oklahoma, and provide 540 meals in addition to the meals earned by the thousands of units of trash submitted. TerraCycle rebates are making it possible for us to provide nutritious meals for thousands more children while taking the trash away from the landfills and accomplishing zero waste as the items are recycled and up-cycled.
