Ever wonder how you can wear your cereal? That’s right. Wear. You have a perfectly good bag when you finish your Malt-O-Meal cereal, so do something cool with it! Our friends at TerraCycle think this way every day of their lives. That’s why we love them. They take what most people think of as trash and make them into treasures.

Hamilton Township in conjunction with TerraCycle recently launched “Chip in for Change,” an initiative aimed at reducing the amount of chip bags that goes into local landfills each year. Through October, Hamilton residents will attempt to recycle at least ten percent of consumed chip bags. For every 50,000 chip bags collected, $250 will be donated to a local charity or non-profit. If the program is successful, TerraCycle will look to expand it to other New Jersey towns.

Ever wonder how you can wear your cereal? That’s right. Wear. You have a perfectly good bag when you finish your Malt-O-Meal cereal, so do something cool with it! Our friends at TerraCycle think this way every day of their lives. That’s why we love them. They take what most people think of as trash and make them into treasures. The TerraCycle team has come up with some pretty neat DIY project ideas using empty Malt-O-Meal bags, like this bracelet. It doesn’t take long to make, and your friends will be green with envy (literally!) when they see the end result of some good ‘ol sustainable living.

The next time you snack on your favorite potato, tortilla or corn chips,don’t throw away the bag! The folks at Trenton-based TerraCycle are teaming up with Hamilton Township officials like Mayor John Bencivengo to “Chip In For Change.” Dozens of collection sites across Hamilton (like the library, the YMCA, and certain stores) are your places to deposit empty chip bags so that they may be recycled, or even up-cycled.

What do you do with your potato chip bag after you eat the chips? Most of those bags end up in the trash, but a New Jersey company wants to turn them into usable products. Trenton-based TerraCycle has selected neighboring Hamilton Township as a test site to determine whether consumers are willing to help keep chip bags from ending up in landfills.

Recycle. Research your township or municipality’s rules for what can and cannot be recycled, and just do it! You’d be surprised what can be recycled. Look for the recycling label on the bottom of all items before tossing in the trash. And if you can’t recycle with your township, look into organizations like Terracycle that will accept your leftovers! Build a compost bin. This will significantly reduce your household waste. Between our recycling and composting, we only have to put the trash out to the curb about once a month.

As we enter the summer months many of us are nurturing or just discovering the joy of gardening. Whether you have started your garden from seed in the cold winter months or bought ready grown seedlings after the first frost, there is something special about caring for plants and making them thrive. Vegetable gardens are a great thrifty choice as you can not only relax by gardening but also get rewarded with some great, healthy veggies in the end. Best of yet, veggie gardens do not require a lot of space. Many herb gardens and tomatoes can be grown in pots on balconies like a mini oasis. TerraCycle is a company dedicated to eliminating the idea of waste. They make a variety of eco-friendly products from recycled or upcycled materials designed to really keep your garden green. Their famous worm poop fertilizer is made from organic refuse, processed by worms, and packaged in used soda bottles to give you the best growing experience possible while helping the environment at the same time

The Trenton-based “up-cycling” company Terracycle has announced the launch of a new program to collect discarded potato chip bags and turn them into useful products. TerraCycle announced a pilot program in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, inviting residents to “Chip in for Change.” CEO and Founder of TerraCycle, Tom Szaky joined Mayor John Bencivengo to unveil their goal to collect and recycle at least ten percent of Hamilton’s used chip bags.
