Unless you are walking around barefoot and naked, then you are creating waste. We constantly breathe, use the gases, and get rid of the waste. We eat to produce energy and then get rid of the waste. We build, manufacture, and produce to provide a better quality of living and give off the by products of our efforts as waste. Not all waste has to go to a landfill. In Nashville, we have recycling centers and some areas have curb side recycling. We (our household) try to recycle the packaging and compost the waste; but we still have items we have to throw into the trash because the recycling program does not accept them. Well, you don't have to throw it away, there is TerraCycle. TerraCycle is a recycling company that collects, reuses, manufactures, and sells recycled goods. Participants (or groups) ship recyclables to TerraCycle. They re-manufacture the resource into a new reusable product. You even accumulate recycling points that earn money to be donated to the charity of your choice. This is a win-win program. It is great for businesses, schools, parks, groups, and individuals. Get involved - you don't have to throw it away. Take a few minutes to browse through their site. They have a lot of recycling information and the specifics of how their program works.

The local TerraCycle Brigade collects difficult-to-recycle waste to make eco-friendly products. It’s a case of one man’s trash being another man’s treasure. TerraCycle is a global company that collects nonrecyclable and difficult-to-recycle waste and uses it to make affordable, eco-friendly products. For each piece of 'waste' sent in through collection programs called Brigades, TerraCycle pays the UPS shipping charges and awards two points, which can be redeemed for specific charity gifts on TerraCycle.net or converted to 2 cents to be donated to the charity of the collector’s choice. While most municipalities accept glass, aluminum, tin and specific kinds of plastic for recycling, TerraCycle is focused on uncommonly recycled items. The company partners with consumer packaged goods manufacturers to upcycle consumer products. With upcycling, the waste is simply cleaned and shaped, sewn, or fused into new products, such as backpacks, messenger bags, lunch boxes, school supplies, shower curtains, and kites.

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.
