The Westfield Area Y announce that their preschool programs were recognized by the TerraCycle Recycling Company for all their efforts during the school year. Led by Mrs. Wolski, the Westfield Area Y Preschool, Kids Club and Kindergarten children and their families saved wrappers from snack time and brought some from home. The collecting of these recyclable items translated to points which can be used to provide meals for homeless people, school supplies, planting trees, clean water and farm animals in a third world country. TerraCycle offers national waste collection programs (Brigades) to collect previously non-recyclable or hard to recycle waste. The collected waste is then converted into new products, ranging from recycled park benches to up cycled backpacks.
