Belleville is keeping cigarette butts off the street and out of landfills. Partnering with TerraCycle Canada's Cigarette Recycling Program, Belleville will ensure cigarette butts are properly disposed of and are given a second life through recycling.

Belleville has just entered a partnership that can keep cigarette butts off the street and out of landfills.  “Cigarette butts are one of the most littered items in the world and they pose a real threat to our environment,” said Joseph Reid, general manager of transportation and operations services. “The plastic filters soak up chemicals, get tossed and release those chemicals – often into our waterways. By partnering with TerraCycle we’re proud to bring a sustainable solution to Belleville.”

Media coverage of Sylvan Lake’s environmental initiatives spread to the Toronto office of TerraCycle Canada, which reached out to the town. TerraCycle is a private U.S. business headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey. The town agreed to move forward with a recycling program and bought the collection receptacles from TerraCycle Canada at a cost of $100 each. The cost includes pre-paid, return-shipping labels that can be affixed to boxes of butts and then sent for recycling free of charge. At TerraCycle, the refuse is sterilized and prepared for processing.

Lentes de contato são uma das opções de tratamento para quem tem miopia e outros problemas de visão. Elas fornecem um campo de visão maior que o dos óculos e são boas aliadas dos praticantes de exercícios físicos, além de ajudarem na hora de dar um mergulho e encontrar seu guarda-sol na volta (o drama de praia de qualquer pessoa com a vista comprometida).

The kids at Howick Primary School are diverting the Howick community’s oral care waste from landfill for their chance to win one of two recycled community garden sets, as part a national recycling competition run by Colgate and global recycling pioneers TerraCycle.

How does a facility that produces some common hazardous wastes prepare for potential flooding? TerraCycle, an innovative waste management services provider, offers the following recommendations.

Travelers are encouraged to refuse potential waste items such as single-use straws or individually packaged condiments. The vehicles, lodges and camps throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem will be stocked with bulk foods that will be transported as individual meals in reusable containers. Napkins and biodegradable foods will be composted by the team, while hard-to-recycle materials will be sent to TerraCycle , a world-leading company that specializes in recycling difficult outputs. There is no better company in achieving this mission than Natural Habitat Adventures, which just celebrated 10 years of being 100 percent carbon neutral — in 2007, the ecotourism pioneer became the world’s first carbon-neutral travel company. Its  carbon offset program has thwarted more than 34.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions generated through the company’s global nature adventures.

Trip leaders have already devised plans to mitigate waste, including providing travelers with a zero-waste toolkit containing reusable items such as water bottles, mugs, cutlery and totes as well as digitizing all pre-trip forms and vacation itineraries. Travelers are encouraged to refuse potential waste items such as single-use straws or individually packaged condiments. The vehicles, lodges and camps throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem will be stocked with bulk foods that will be transported as individual meals in reusable containers. Napkins and biodegradable foods will be composted by the team, while hard-to-recycle materials will be sent to TerraCycle, a world-leading company that specializes in recycling difficult outputs.

Natural Habitat Adventures says it has created the world’s first zero-waste adventure. At the beginning of July of next year, more than 10 travelers will be joining this initiative. The mission is to reuse, recycle, compost or upcycle 99 percent or more of all waste created in Nat Hab-sponsored trip operations.

After her retirement from her job as a hospice nurse, emptiness crept inside her. She wanted to do something else and felt that there was something missing which made her wonder what was in store for her. By chance, her sister mentioned Sprout NOLA, a neighborhood garden in her community that was started by the Green Garden Giveaway by Garnier and TerraCycle. Picnic tables and garden boxes fashioned out of recycled materials plus cash funding were given away to deserving districts to help start gardens that the locals can share and use. Sprout NOLA was one of these gardens that has brought neighbors closer, serving as a place of congregation and offering vegetable and free garden plots to the locale.
