ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Schools Increase Recycling Efforts With TerraCycle

TerraCycle General Brigades Include USA
Schools generate plenty of debris that is thoughtlessly gotten rid of when it can certainly be recycled. A unique recycling strategy named TerraCycle has brought about a major difference in the recycling practices of schools in this country. This program takes the step to gather food packaging products which are difficult to recycle and in addition pays schools for their hard work. As outlined by a MichigansThumb.com report, this program awards points to schools dependent on the amount of recyclable products delivered to TerraCycle. The arrival of single-serve food items has accelerated the level of disposable waste and contributed to an ever-increasing pile of hazardous waste products in landfills. TerraCycle motivates the recycling of food packaging items including candy wrappers and packaging for chips, cereals, coffee, cookies, beverages and gum. They also approve several other products including plastic bags, cups, glue containers, as well as electronic items including laptops, music players, cameras, and mobile phones. Schools have total control of the types of things they will recycle. Involvement in this program is completely free for all schools as TerraCycle recommends execution of as many eco-friendly techniques as possible.
