The Alpine Montessori School and Brewster County Twin Peaks 4-H Club are collecting items and sending them to TerraCycle to be repurposed into new products.

The school is participating in the Drink Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program for individuals or groups sponsored by Capri Sun and TerraCycle. To mark the milestone of almost 200 million drink pouches collected and almost $4 million given to charity since the start of the program six years ago

Companies can capitalize on kids’ recycling savvy by providing lesson plans or partnering with environmental nonprofits to engage kids, such as Capri Sun’s partnership with TerraCycle.  

Ella’s Kitchen has partnered with TerraCycle to create the Baby Food Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program for baby food pouches and caps. Parents can find out more about how to recycle [their pouches] with Terracycle at ellaskitchen.com.

In previous years, the program had students save their Capri Sun containers to send to TerraCycle, which turned the containers into colorful wallets and sent the school money in return, which they saved up to use to protect a turtle nest in El Salvador.

Through one of TerraCycle’s free Brigade programs, the department has collected more than 1,300 pounds of bags, diverting a huge chunk of waste from local ecosystems and landfills. It even generates points for each unit of waste sent to TerraCycle, which are being turned into cash donations to local schools around Oregon.

The Ruidoso News, through its offices at 104 Park Avenue, will provide collection receptacles to staff and clients. The list of products that can be put to good use through Coyote Howling's Terracycle program is large

The Ruidoso News is launching a company-wide recycle campaign. Even though the newspaper's parent has an existing corporate mandate that recycles all newsprint products, General Manager Marianne Mohr is initiating a broader initiative to support the TerraCycle "Brigades" sponsored by Coyote Howling

Fortunate, too, that Tom Szaky's innovative TerraCycle global recycling company makes it possible to do good for the Earth and also earn rebates for not-for-profits like Feed My Starving Children.
