Students in the environmental club provide information on how, what, and where to recycle; create bird feeders and organize recycled materials; and initiate voluntary recycling programs for hard-to-recycle items with TerraCycle and Crayola Colorcycle. In the cafeteria, the use of reusable trays and composting of food waste greatly reduces solid waste.
Designed with cross-angled, multi-height bristles to help remove plaque between teeth, the Tom's of Maine Whole Care Toothbrush gently cleans down to the gumline and features a raised tip to access hard-to-reach areas. The soft, BPA-free bristles are colored with food-grade, mineral-based pigments.
It is
recyclable through the Tom's of Maine collection program with upcycling leader TerraCycle.
I just learned recently that on June 8 thof this year Herbel Essences will partner with TerraCycle in a nationwide take-back program to ensure every Herbel Essence bottle is recycled and does not end up in the ocean. This is where a company is working with an organization and with the help from its customers to do good. Everyone needs to be thoughtful about the lifecycle of any consumer product and it’s great to see a large company and organization work together, with consumers help, to reuse and recycle items that normally would have been thrown out in a landfill.

At the Green Team Tent, community members interested in recycling dutifully brought K Cups to place in the Terra Cycle box. If you forgot to bring them and wish to bring K Cups tomorrow, July 6, you may do so, otherwise that is the end of that collection. Remember to save bottle caps to bring on July 27 and rinsed Solo cups on Aug. 24.
Some companies would like to use more sustainable packaging but feel the nature of their product makes it difficult or impossible with available options. Recycling facilities can’t accept the flexible plastic pouches Buddy Fruits uses for their small-batch fresh fruit purees. Sustainability is an important part of their brand, but the highly perishable product needs to be as airtight as possible. While searching for a more sustainable and equally secure alternative, BuddyFruits has partnered with TerraCycle. TerraCycle collects and recycles hard to recycle products and makes new materials and products. Buddy Fruits customers can request an envelope from TerraCycle to ship-in their empty pouches. Many other food and beverage companies, like White Leaf Provisions, partner with TerraCycle for the same reasons as Buddy Fruits.

Have you heard of TerraCycle? TerraCycle is a global business that has some free programs to recycle packing and products that we normally throw in the trash, and turns it into raw materials to be used in new products. Things like Gillette razors, Burt’s Bees containers, Cliff Bar wrappers, Van’s shoes, and many more recycling programs for these products are free. Visit TerraCycle.com
Two weeks later on April 27th, Green Venture joined the City of Hamilton’s Clean and Green Committee and A Greener Future’s initiative called the Hamilton Butt Blitz with an intended goal of collecting 50,000 butts in one day. The Kenilworth Butt Blitz, one of 5 organized cigarette butt clean ups around the City, saw Green Venture joining forces with the Crown Point Garden Club and almost 20 volunteers to participate in Hamilton’s first ever city-wide Butt Blitz! This team of dedicated volunteers collected 9,252 cigarette butts from Kenilworth Avenue stretching from Barton to Main to be recycled by TerraCycle. This was a huge accomplishment. Thank you volunteers!
