ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Newark Playground Is Made From Recycled Toothbrushes

TerraCycle Colgate Include USA ShopRite
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. That’s the sort of mentality that produced an awesome playground at a Newark school.   The new jungle gym and playground at the Fourteenth Avenue School in Newark is made from recycled toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes, although you’d never know by looking at it. Visually indistinguishable from a “new” product, the innovative effort is a sign that the community is thinking of ways to breathe life into hard-to-recycle waste. A collaborative effort between ShopRite, Colgate and recycling company TerraCycle, the playground will give local kids a safe – and inspirational – place to play for years to come, the project’s organizers stated.
