Students from Concord Christian Academy have been collecting trash
TerraCycle Include USA
Students from Concord Christian Academy have been collecting trash - and funds - this fall.
The students collect normally nonrecyclable trash, send it in to TerraCycle, a company that pays for the junk, recycles it and turns it into other products - anything from backpacks and flower pots to plastic lumber, tote bags, and pencil cases.
So far, the local students have collected more than 4,000 snack bags, almost 4,000 drink pouches, more than 200 lunch kits, and more than 2,000 home storage items like plastic baggies to be reused and recycled.
