The Hain Celestial Group has announced that members of the recycling club at Pinecrest High School are among the nation’s top 10 collectors of snack bags in The Hain Celestial Group Snack Bag Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. and TerraCycle. By collecting used snack bags, the Pinecrest students have helped to divert more than 20,000 used bags from landfills while earning more than $1,000 for their school or charity of choice. “Pinecrest High School continues to be one of our top collectors, collecting 20,823 snack bags in 2015 alone,” said TerraCycle publicist Colleen Duncan.

Students at Sandburg Elementary School are among the top collectors of snack bags in The Hain Celestial Group Snack Bag Brigade, a free, national recycling program created by The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. and TerraCycle. By collecting used snack bags from foods such as The Hain Celestial Group’s Garden of Eatin’ snacks, Terra chips or any other brand, the students have helped to divert 19185 units of snack bag waste from landfills, while also earning $2,876 for their school or charity of choice. After they sign up to join a recycling Brigade, schools and organizations earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle.
