Trash for cash pays off for elementary school
Walmart Include USA
MOUNT LAUREL - The Countryside Elementary School has earned a $30,000 grant for placing second in a statewide contest that encourages the "upcycling" of post-consumer packaging.
The "Trash for Cash" program is sponsored by TerraCycle, a Trenton manufacturer of goods made from used materials, and discount retailer Wal-Mart.
In addition to the grant, the school earned $931 in funds for the parent-teacher organization, an award based on the unspecified number of boxes of recycled materials submitted for the contest.
