ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Recycling options for candy wrappers

TerraCycle Colgate Include USA
After a night of Halloween trick-or-treating, there is a lot of candy-wrapper trash, and the wrappers usually end up in a landfill. TerraCycle is offering a recycling solution: kids and adults can collect Halloween candy wrappers and send them to the company, which makes things like tote bags, speakers and plastic lumber out of the waste. Kids also can send in toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes as part of the Colgate Oral Care Brigade. For every wrapper sent in to TerraCycle, the sender receives points, which can be converted to cash and donated to a kid's school, a local charity or a nonprofit.
