Solorio Students Earn Money By Collecting And Recycling Drink Pouches

TerraCycle Include USA drink pouch brigade Capri Sun Milestone Program (Kraft)
Solorio Elementary School students in Fontana earn money and prizes for their school by collecting and recycling the drink pouches they use at home and in the lunchroom. Solorio's students have just reached the second level of TerraCycle and Capri Sun’s Drink Pouch Brigade milestone contest by collecting more than 18,000 drink pouches. The students have earned more than $2,400 for their school by collecting the drink pouches. The Drink Pouch Brigade is a nationwide free recycling program that rewards people for collecting and sending their waste to TerraCycle to be recycled or upcycled. The Milestone Program began in September of 2013, when Capri Sun added prizes for collecting certain amounts. Now, in addition to the money they earn for each piece of waste collected, participants can win prizes made from recycled drink pouches, such as park benches, recycling bins, a playground, and other fun rewards.
