Recycling focus of student musical in Woolwich

school TerraCycle 3M (Scotch) Include USA Elmer’s Scotch Tape
WOOLWICH TWP. Fifty first-grade students at the Gov. Charles Stratton School demonstrated what they've learned about recycling and composting this year in "Composting - The Musical." They sang songs on Thursday about what can be recycled, what can be composted and what kids can do themselves to help keep the landfills empty. "This year the first-graders got a chance to see first hand how they can make a difference," Joann Ellis, one of the school's teachers, said. The children have been taking part in a recycling program with Trenton-based Terracycle. The company makes eco-friendly items from materials that would normally be non-recyclable. Students at the school have been sending their trash to Terracycle for the last five months including 607 cookie wrappers, 9,025 drink pouches, 2,984 chip bags, 263 Elmer glue sticks and 24 Scotch tape rolls. For each item they donate Terracycle gives the school two cents, which gets donated to charity.
