They made it to around four kilograms last year and won $1000 for their efforts.
Now Greenhithe School is trying to see if they can beat their score and collect even more old toothbrushes, oral care and packaging for recylcing.
It's the second year the school has participated in the Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures Oral Care Recycling Programme run by TerraCycle.

Quantifying sustainability’s impact on the bottom line can be a challenge. Short-term, bottom-line pressures are top of mind as parties at all levels of consumption strive to contain costs and waste reduction and environmental initiatives take a backseat.
Have an old car seat lying around? Whether it’s too small for your growing tot, too old or simply time for a new model, Target will gladly take it off your hands… again!
In April 2017, Target held the first Car Seat Trade-In program during Earth Month, which was a huge success. Target recycled nearly 80,000 car seats, which equaled more than one million pounds.
Local Target stores offer free car seat recycling through Saturday.
The promotion comes at a time when local recyclers have suspended their car seat recycling programs because of changes in what types of foreign waste China will accept.
Target’s promotion is offered through New Jersey-based TerraCycle, whose recycling process is based in the United States.
