  Did you know that you could earn money for your homeschool group by turning in your trash? TerraCycle's free national collection programs pay non-profits and schools money for collecting used packaging such as drink pouches, energy bar wrappers, yogurt cups, cookie wrappers, chip bags, glue bottles and more! TerraCycle makes affordable, eco-friendly products from a wide range of different non-recyclable waste materials.

A Far Northside school and two area churches earned money for their programs while keeping waste out of landfills. Students in Kathrynn Hodson's class at Spring Mill Elementary and groups at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on the Far Southside and St. John's Lutheran Church on the Southeastside collected non-recyclable packaging such as makeup tubes through a program called the Aveeno Beauty Brigade, said Sara Koncius, TerraCycle spokeswoman. TerraCycle, a New Jersey-based company, takes the items like the tubes, chip bags or even bicycle chain and turns them into products such as backpacks, pictures frames and makeup pouches. The school and churches earned two cents for every tube collected. Any school group or nonprofit can sign up for the program, Koncius said. Both churches also are participating in other fundraising collections such as the Capri Sun Drink Pouch Brigade and the Frito-Lay Chip Bag Brigade.

Earth Month is one time of the year when a number of companies come up with initiatives as well as project to showcase their efforts to preserve the environment and protect the ecology. One of the companies that have taken the lead in this is the retail giant Wal-Mart, which has tied up with Terracycle to display ‘before and after’ products. This is in the realm of recycling which is one of the key ways to conserve the environment. These products will be displayed all month on Wal-Mart shelves. These are essentially products that are taken by Terracycle and then recycled into fresh consumer goods.

In the second half of the show, Tom Szaky, founder of TerraCycle, joins John and Mike to talk about how his company is solving the problem of non-recyclable waste. In America alone, TerraCycle has 10.1 million people collecting waste — about 3 million pounds a day! — to convert into consumer products. TerraCycle converts everything from organic waste to plastic juice pouches into like-new products, in turn creating a whole reuse market that previously did not exist. “About 80% of the products we buy are not recyclable, and those are the ones we focus on creating solutions for,” Szaky says. He notes that TerraCycle has about 70,000 collection points — growing by about 500 a day — in countries around the world.
