The third annual Febreze Frenzy contest is underway and New Glasgow's A.G. Memorial School is on the leaderboard to take home the top prize.  The contest is part of TerraCycle and Febreze's innovative collection-and-recycle program...

Using garbage, she's raised more than $1,800 for her favourite causes Diane Davis has raised more than $1,800 over the past few years for several charities of her choice by collecting items that would otherwise end up in the landfill. The local woman sends the materials to TerraCycle Canada, an independent recycling agency specializing in diverting from landfill products municipalities deem “non-recyclable.”

A.G. Baillie Memorial School is one of the top 20 finalists in the Febreze Frenzy Contest, a nationwide recycling contest sponsored by Febreze and run by TerraCycle. The location is one of the top collectors of traditionally non-recyclable air and home care packaging waste, such as trigger heads from spray bottles. By participating in the contest, they are not only reducing the amount of local landfill waste, but are eligible to win a share of $5,000 for a charity of their school.

People can help Sheridan Public School by recycling waste from products used to clean or freshen their home or air. The local public elementary school is a new recycling drop-off point for all air and home care packaging, which will be delivered regularly to recycling company TerraCycle Canada. This type of waste includes: used plastic air fresheners and plug-in refills; trigger heads, pumps and caps; and flexible, home-cleaning wipe packs of any brand.
