Wildwood’s Glenwood Avenue Elementary students learn better uses for everyday trash

WILDWOOD — Throwing away an empty Funyuns bag or an old Laffy Taffy wrapper was routine for students at Glenwood Avenue Elementary School. Not anymore. Now, teacher John Fuscellaro and his homeroom students have launched a recycling program that has students, teachers and staff collecting everything from old Ziploc bags to empty toothpaste tubes. His class then sorts them and he sends them to TerraCycle, a company that turns the materials into new products and gives small cash payments to the school in return.
