New program recycles wide range of trash
TerraCycle Include USA
BERLIN -- Grow Berlin Green, a campaign to promote conservation and environmental protection, will launch a new TerraCycle program beginning Sept. 10. TerraCycle is a company that makes affordable, eco-friendly products from a wide range of different non-recyclable waste matters. This company runs a free national collection program that pays non-profits for their waste.
Berlin resident Kathy Winte is spearheading this program to raise funds for GBG and will coordinate and orchestrate the collection, sorting and mailing of the disposed waste of non-recyclable trash items. The town has agreed to place two containers next to the paper/cardboard recycle container located at the recycle station at the John Howard Burbage Park on William Street for residents to dispose non-recyclable trash items, including corks, chip bags, cookie wrappers, juice pouches and coffee packs which are turned into plastic items such as coolers, trash cans, pavers, bricks, fence posts and more.
