Thanks to Chatham Park’s very large first shipment of drink pouches they collected for Trash to Ca$h, we received points from TerraCycle as well as earned multiple entries into the Drink Pouch Brigade Giveaway Contest….and are excited to announce that WE WON
It’s been a while since I talked about the
Terracycle Brigade with Capri Sun that we are doing at the school my husband teaches at. It turned out it would work better if we had the entire school collecting drink pouches instead of the wide variety of products we initially thought we’d try. We had them collecting Capri Sun containers and any of that sort. How did we end up doing? How was the school rewarded? Let’s take a look
Capri Sun is increasing the prizes and benefits of recycling through the Drink Pouch Brigade, the free recycling program operated by eco-pioneer TerraCycle, in order to mark the milestone of almost 200 million drink pouches collected and almost $4 million given to charity since the start of the program six years ago.
TerraCycle is known for upcycling and recycling packaging that is otherwise non-recyclable. When I worked in preschool education we eagerly joined TerraCycle in helping to eliminate the amount of waste we produced.
TerraCycle is a company that outsmarts waste by developing innovative products using typically non-recyclable materials. TerraCycle’s products are high-quality, all-natural, affordable, and are made of recycled materials.
Capri Sun pouches can be dropped off at Onslow County Schools central office at 200 Broadhurst Road; or the school at 130 Betty Dixon Road in Sneads Ferry.

Honest Tea also invested into a program called the TerraCycle Juice Pouch Brigade which collects children's juice pouches and turns them into upcycled products like totes and bags. Honest Tea collected over 182 million juice pouches in 2013.
We were recently awarded the opportunity to start a
TerraCycle Brigade with
Capri Sun that was the answer to our prayers on getting something started in school for not only my husband’s students, but for the whole school!
Capri Sun is expanding its rewards program for participants in its Drink Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program operated in conjunction with TerraCycle. The expanded benefits will offer prizes to customers who save and return the drink pouches in addition to the cash donations for schools and charities already included in the program. The program has recycled some 200 million pouches to date and earned $4 million in donations.
