Lindsey Rankin, a mother of two and avid recycler, discovered there was a program that would recycle difficult items like tape and pens, and launched the TerraCycle School Recycling Program at Hutchinson Elementary.
By working with the school to place a variety of collection bins in the facility, and through education and training of students and teachers, Lindsey’s personal initiative has kept more than 50 pounds of writing utensils, 2,500 ink and toner cartridges and more than 544 baby food pouches out of the landfill.
“We had been talking about different ideas and … in the ShopRite flier, Colgate, ShopRite and TerraCycle had gotten together to promote this (Colgate Oral Care recycling) program. So I texted the picture to everybody on the team and I asked them what they thought about it and they said ‘go for it,’ ” Emitt said.
Ms. Byrd's Wayland Elementary 6th grade class sponsored an Earth Day Terracycle contest at Wayland.
Students were encouraged to donate terracycle items leading up to Earth Day. All the collected waste items were saved from local landfills and sent to the Terracycle company to be upcycled into new products.
“We want to empower students to leave a positive impact at UB, whether that means purchasing outdoor equipment for students to engage more with nature, or purchasing resources for starting recycling programs through TerraCycle that allow us to close other waste streams on campus,” Bower said.
