Last Fall, Colgate provided a grant for a pilot recycling program for eight dental schools and eight dental hygiene programs in the United States from September through December. Each school was provided with recycling boxes for specified oral care products and packaging and a
TerraCycle account. For every pound of recycled products received, $1 is donated to a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of choice.
Through Terracycle, an upcycling and recycling company, used writing instruments earn the school 2 cents each. Although this is an ongoing fundraiser, Terracycle is also hosting a collection contest to see which schools can submit the most instruments by the end of November. The school collected more than 16 pounds of writing instruments during the recycling drive.
