Frank H. Hammond Elementary School of Munster has been named an honorable mention in this year’s “Recycled Playground Challenge,” courtesy of Colgate-Palmolive (“Colgate”), Meijer and TerraCycle. Frank H. Hammond Elementary School earned a total of 2,183 Playground Credits by recycling waste and via online voting to place in the contest. The honorable mention prize winner will receive a $150 Meijer gift card, 500 Colgate kids toothbrushes, 500 Colgate kids toothpaste tubes and a Colgate Bright Smiles Bright Futures van visit. The Recycled Playground Challenge launched in April in schools throughout Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin that participate in the Colgate Oral Care Recycling Program, a free, national program operated by Colgate and TerraCycle. During the contest window, participating schools earned one Playground Credit for each unit of oral care waste – such as toothbrushes, floss containers and toothpaste tubes – sent to TerraCycle for recycling. Schools earned additional Playground Credits by encouraging their community, parents and teachers to vote online.
