Nashold Elementary Students Cashing in Drink Pouches

school TerraCycle Sun Chips (Frito-Lay) Include USA
P.E. teacher Trish Peterson says Nashold joined a TerraCycle Brigade last year. TerraCycle pays the school two cents for each drink pouch, they make them into new products like lunch boxes. Fifth grade teacher Shelly Cascio says the kids have really picked up on it. "They stop at home and say mom, dad, wait, we need to recycle this instead of throwing it away because we don't want to put it in our landfills." Lucas Buczynksi washes the pouches every couple of weeks. Other kids help dry and pack them in groups of 25. Once they have 500 packed, the box gets mailed to TerraCycle.
