TRENTON >> TerraCycle, the city’s recycle-everything company, is challenging schools to send them their dental waste for a chance to win a playground.
Of course — in true TerraCycle fashion — the playground will also be made from recycled oral waste products.
For the 2017 Recycled Playground Challenge, TerraCycle is teaming up once again with Colgate and ShopRite for the fourth consecutive year.
The recycling battle starts this Sunday, March 12 and ends June 30, 2017. Participating schools will receive one (1) “Playground Credit” for each unit, defined as 0.02 pounds, of discarded toothpaste tubes, dental floss containers and toothbrushes sent to TerraCycle. Credits can also be earned by community members voting for schools online at terracycle.com/colgateshopriteplayground2017.
