A school is turning trash into treasure thanks to a recycling scheme.
For each bag of rubbish Langafel C of E Primary in
Longfield collects, it receives cash from a firm called TerraCycle and puts it towards its Thrive Approach programme, which supports the mental and social wellbeing of pupils.

Submon ha retirado 4.500 kg de residuos de gran tamaño que impactaban a praderas de posidonia del Cabo de Creus, en concreto de los fondos marinos de Roses y Llançà, en Girona.
Hablando de residuos, el 80 por ciento que se desechan podrían ser procesados y convertidos en material útil para elaborar nuevos productos. No se hace porque es complicado y caro. TerraCycle revierte esta situación y da nueva vida a productos como bolígrafos, maquinillas de afeitar, cápsulas de café o tóneres de impresora…
Olha só essa iniciativa que já virou referência no Colégio de Aplicação do Campus da Univali em Tijucas, Santa Catarina
Comme d'autres bénévoles de l'association Ti'Moun, Alain Rouxel récolte les papiers ainsi que les stylos en vue d'être recyclés et offrir des repas aux enfants à Haïti.
Tous ces objets sont confiés à un membre de Ti’Moun avant d’être pris en charge par TerraCycle, une entreprise de recyclage qui verse un euro par kilo collecté. « Vingt stylos recyclés permettent d’obtenir un repas pour un enfant », précise le bénévole de Ti’Moun.

BARRIE – Eye doctors located in cities throughout Ontario are helping the planet and the local community by reducing waste and keeping otherwise non-recyclable disposable contact lenses and their packaging out of the landfill.
Through the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts Recycling Program, consumers are invited to bring all brands of disposable contact lenses and their blister pack packaging to participating eye doctor locations to be recycled.
“Contact lenses are one of the forgotten waste streams that are often overlooked due to their size and how commonplace they are in today’s society,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle. “Programs like the Bausch + Lomb Every Contact Counts Recycling Program allows eye doctors to work within their community and take an active role in preserving the environment, beyond what their local municipal recycling programs are able to provide. By creating this recycling initiative, our aim was to provide an opportunity where whole communities are able to collect waste alongside a national network of public drop-off locations all with the unified goal to increase the number of recycled contact lenses and their associated packaging, thereby reducing their impact on landfills.”
Below is a list of local eye doctors participating in the program:
One of the Internet sensation’s top cleaning hacks – the Flash Powermop – is currently up for grabs with a 31% discount at

Mrs Hinch would surely give the versatile all-in-one mop, which has an inbuilt spray for easy cleaning and claims to clean two times faster than a regular mop and bucket, top marks too.
She added, referencing the free recycling programme
