A number of difficult-to-recycle and non-recyclable items, including more than 500 juice pouches, will get a new lease on life, thanks to Belle Aire School’s Trash 4 Cash program. The Belle Aire PTA decided in the fall of 2010 to collect items to send to Terracycle, a national company that makes new green consumer products out of post-consumer materials, such as backpacks created from drink pouches. Terracycle takes in some 100 materials that would normally get thrown in the trash, and Belle Aire formed brigades to collect three of those items: juice pouches, food storage containers such as re-sealable sandwich bags, and health and beauty product packaging.
