A Barrie Catholic school has ranked high in a Canadian waste diversion contest.
St. Bernadette School placed eighth of the top 10 waste-collecting schools in the TerraCycle Canada waste collection program.
The school's efforts of collecting drink pouches, sandwich bags and personal care/beauty product packaging diverted 6.273 units of waste from landfills from September 2011 to February 2012.
L'école de la Source de Lavaltrie a terminé première de la Course aux déchets d'hiver. Ce concours organisé par TerraCycle Canada récompense les équipes ayant collecté le plus de déchets pour TerraCycle sur une période de 2 mois à travers tout le Canada.
Students at Barkers Point Elementary School are cashing in trash for treasure.
The students in grades 2-5 participated in TerraCycle Canada's recent Trash to Cash contest and managed to collect 5,396 sandwich bags and containers.
A Toronto-area recycling initiative aims to put some of the sweet back into used candy wrappers.
Cineplex Entertainment and TerraCycle Canada have a pilot project to collect used snack packaging at five of the movie chain's biggest theatres in the GTA.
They’ve done it again! Queen Elizabeth School’s Knights of the Green Table Eco Club has taken the second runner-up prize in TerraCycle Canada’s recent Winter Trash to Cash waste collection contest, which recognizes the top collectors of TerraCycle’s numerous waste streams from across Canada during a two-month period.
The packaging landscape has been “greened” the past years by consumer packaged goods companies (CPGCs) making sustainability improvements, initiative by initiative and packaged product by packaged product. These changes have been made for a number of reasons including meeting internal goals, meeting external expectations and/or cutting costs.

Every child learns about recycling in school, but Sonja Krawesky’s Grade Three class at St. Patrick’s Catholic School are taking that concept to a whole new level.
The class recently took top honours in TerraCycle Canada’s “Design a Box That Rocks” competition, which encourages teams nationwide to design and create an innovative TerraCycle waste collection station in order to “upcycle” over sighted waste materials. The program, only initiated at Saint Patrick’s last fall after hearing about it at the Toronto Homes Show, is wildly successful with the students.
I read an interesting post last weekend, where the blogger had just received a new Tassimo Drink machine. Caite, at
A Lovely Shore Breeze, left me a message reminding me that it was at her blog that I read that post. I mentioned that I use my machine as a hot water source. A few readers mentioned that they had not considered doing that. In this post I am going to expand on my comments on that blog.
Out of all the entries from across the entire country William S. Patterson School in Clandeboye is the ‘little engine that could’, as the school was announced the first runner-up in the TerraCycle Canada Design a Box that Rocks Contest.
