Lipscomb University and Lipscomb Academy elementary school are hosting two household waste collections — one from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at the Lipscomb Academy campus at 4517 Granny White Pike, and one from9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Lipscomb Academy football field at Lealand and Caldwell lanes. In addition to the household items, they will accept quirky, hard-to-recycle items such as potato chip bags, candy wrappers, drink pouches, ink pens, dried-up markers and more to redeem through the Terracycle Brigade. The collection days also will accept aluminum cans, plastic bottles and newspapers.

Countryside earned 500 tote bags, pencil cases, pens and a gift certificate of $750 to ShopRite for their hard work.

An old tooth-brush doesn't necessarily evoke a feeling of possibility, but perhaps it should. A contest held by Colgate-Palmolive — in collaboration with ShopRite and recycling company TerraCycle — showed students that old oral care products could be made into something new.
