Company encourages residents to send in weekend party trash. With 4th of July right around the corner, local resident are gearing up for a long weekend of barbecues and pool parties. But one company wants you to keep recycling in mind before throwing out the trash. TerraCycle, an up-cycling and recycling company, has teamed up with brands like Frito-Lay, Nabisco, Kraft Cheese, Solo and Scott to cutback on non-recyclable party trash just being dumped in the garbage. The company wants local residents to send their difficult to recycle food packaging like chip bags, paper towels and solo plastic cups to them instead.

Be Green We were so excited to be contacted by TerraCycle to inform you of the opportunity to help your local community and environment while celebrating July 4th. At Birmingham Holiday Examiner, we are passionate about our environment and our community. As we prepare for outdoor fun and feasts, remember that there is another option for your trash and waste. TerraCycle aims to change our idea of waste by teaching us that much of what we determine as useless waste can benefit us all as a recycled item. The great thing about TerraCycle is that you can recycle these items for absolutely free. They provide boxes and labeling so you can just mail your contributions directly to them.

TRENTON, N.J., May 23, 2011 – Summer is the season for outdoor parties and picnics, and it’s important to take care of the outdoors as you are enjoying it. Instead of filling up your trash can with empty food wrappers and plastic cups after guests leave, you can reuse the packaging yourself or send the waste to TerraCycle, where you can earn money for your favorite charity and keep things out of the local landfill at the same time. Terracycle, an innovative upcycling and recycling company, partners with brands such as Frito-Lay, Nabisco, Kraft Cheese, Solo and Scott to reduce the amount of wast being thrown away. Some of the wrappers can also be used for do-it-yourself projects. An easy , crafty summer project is the do-it-yourself chip bowl, which can be made from a Frito-Lay chip bag, and then used for your next party! Or, you can turn your used Solo cups into herb planters for the porch or kitchen. For those who'd prefer to send their waste back to TerraCycle, they'll earn two cents per item for a charity of their choice.

With Fourth of July fast approaching San Franciscans are gearing up for BBQ’s, beach picnics, family, friends and festivities. Summer parties create great memories, but they can also create a lot of left over trash. While you try your best to separate, recycle and even compost, what can you do with all that difficult-to-recycle food packaging, like Frito-Lay chip bags, Kraft Singles cheese packaging, Capri Sun drink pouches, and plastic cups? This year, there is a better option for dealing with these tricky “non-recyclables.” You can send them, for free, to TerraCycle. TerraCycle is one of the fastest growing green comapanies in the world. It was founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, then a 20-year-old Princeton freshman. He began by producing organic fertilizer, liquid worm poop, and packaging it for sale in used soda bottles. Today, TerraCycle’s expanded mission is to eliminate the idea of waste all together.

THE TERRACYCLE RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR JUICE POUCHES EARNS SCHOOL A CASH REWARD. When students at St. Charles School see a certain juice pouch, they don’t just think “juice.” They also think about reducing school trash and bringing in 2 cents per juice pouch for their school. Special education teacher and Student Council advisor Jill Flemming also sees teachable math moments. Since this past September, the school has been sending Capri Sun juice pouches to TerraCycle. This school year, St. Charles students, who ended their school year Tuesday, recycled more than 11,000 juice bags, Flemming said Wednesday morning—11,072 to be exact. The recycling idea came, she said, when students were doing an annual walk in September against diabetes. The boxes of juice bags that the Student Council dispensed during the walk said, Flemming pointed out, “Recycle with TerraCycle.”
