Do you have a pile of rubber flip-flops from last summer? There may be a better place for them instead of the landfill down the street. Terracycle is a web-based recycling service that has a goal to eliminate waste by finding clever ways to reuse non-recyclable items, such as tooth brushes and potato chip bags. But it's not a typical drop-off site where someone else organizes the clutter. To participate in up-cycling, material must be gathered in bulk by a team and meet defined expectations. The material is used to create household, office and gardening products. The up-cycled items are for sale at Terracycle's online shop, and some are available at stores including Walmart and Target. Old Navy has created the Flip-Flop Brigade ®, and is asking people to recycle their flip-flops. In return, Old Navy will send you valuable coupons. There is no participation fee to join the brigade, and the shipping cost is covered by the program. Collect 25 pairs of flip-flops, or up to 18 pounds, of any brand and fill up a box or bag. Download a pre-paid shipping label from terracycle.com. Ship the box to TerraCycle by affixing the pre-paid postage label and dropping it off at a UPS location. Terracycle was founded by Tom Szaky in 2001. With more than 28 million registered users, Terracycle boasts to be one of the "fastest-growing green companies in the world."
