Karen Marietta, who leads the school's TerraCycle program, said since it began in 2011, faculty and students have recycled more than 204,000 items from plastic cereal bags and snack pouches to Elmer's glue sticks and plastic tape dispensers. "It's between the drink pouches and the granola energy bar wrappers," Marietta said. "Those are probably our biggest things." TerraCycle, an international recycling program that specializes in difficult-to-recycle packaging and products, covers the cost of shipping and pays schools a penny per piece.
