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.

The Fourth of July celebrations will be in full swing this weekend. As you plan your party, think about what you will do with all the trash that is leftover. Some of these items can be sent to TerraCycle, an upcycling and recycling company with a unique point of view. They want to “Outsmart Waste”. TerraCycle works with large companies such as Frito-Lay, Nabisco, and Starbucks to “eliminate the idea of waste”. The waste generated by these companies is collected by schools, church groups, and other organizations as well as indivduals. The “trash”, shipped free of charge, is then turned into backpacks, speakers, pencil cases and more which feature the brightly colored packaging. Other items are used to make pictures frames, floor tiles and plastic lumber. These items are available online at www.TerraCycleShop.com, with some items, such as their new cooler, soon to be available at Wal-Mart.

Each morning, Westborough Patch presents “5 Things You Need to Know,” a collection of announcements, events and reminders to help you organize your day. 4. TerraCycle, a recycling company, is hoping to reduce packaging waste by paying for it. The company will pay two cents per item to a charity of choice for anyone who sends waste to the free collection program. Shipping costs are paid. To learn more, visit www.terracycle.net. A company statement said it turns trash into “bright, innovative products such as backpacks, speakers and pencil cases.”

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 waste 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.

Just becauses Earth Day is over, doesn't mean we should forget about living more eco-friendly lives. Stay excited, because today I am bringing you an awesome company, Terracycle. Have you ever realized that waste doesn't exist in nature? All materials are reused or recycled through natural processes. However, modern human society and technology has created a massive waste issue. The creation of complex plastic polymers during and after the Industrial Revolution broke the closed-loop, sustainable system that had existed on Planet Earth. Now the irrepressible demand for safe, conveniently packaged consumer goods is annually creating billions of tons of non-recyclable or difficult to recycle waste. That is where TerraCycle comes in. This company was the ambitious dream of a college freshman turned sustainable business pioneer, a company that makes eco-friendly, affordable consumer products from waste. By using the trillions of pieces of packaging that go to landfill every year to build high quality consumer goods, TerraCycle hopes to replace the need to create virgin materials, like new plastics and textiles, by showing the world it is more sustainable and more profitable to use waste as a raw material.
