DePaolo Middle School has been named the second runner up in the “Recycled Playground Challenge,” courtesy of Colgate, ShopRite, and recycling pioneer TerraCycle. DePaolo earned a total of 8,494 Playground Credits by recycling waste and through online voting to place in the contest. The second runner up prize winner will receive 500 kids toothbrushes, 500 kids toothpaste tubes, a Colgate Bright Smiles Futures van visit, and a Shoprite gift card. Flanders Elementary PTO, a Southington school organization, placed among the six honorable mentions with 1,539 Playground Credits. The Recycled Playground Challenge launched in March 2016 among schools throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut and Maryland participating in the Colgate Oral Care Recycling Program a free recycling program operated by Colgate and TerraCycle. Participating schools earned one Playground Credit for each unit of oral care waste, such as empty toothpaste tubes and floss containers, sent to TerraCycle for recycling. Schools earned additional Playground Credits by encouraging parents and teachers to vote online. The Colgate Oral Care Recycling Program is an ongoing activity, open to any individual, family, school or community group. For each piece of waste sent in using a pre-paid shipping label, participants earn money toward donations to the school or charity of their choice.

Butikksjef Steffen Myrvang på Kiwi Åskollen i Drammen legger til rette for at kundene skal være mest mulig miljøbevisste. I samarbeid med TerraCycle og TASSIMO har de etablert et lokalt innsamlingsdepot i butikken.

Nespresso has partnered with global recycling and upcycling pioneers TerraCycle to expand its recycling programme. As part of the partnership, Nespresso now has an additional 75-plus recycling collection points in florists and garden centres nationwide, from Invercargill to Kerikeri. The used capsules are then picked up by TerraCycle and sent to a recycling plant in Auckland. At the plant they are recycled into two streams; the roast and ground coffee is separated and then transformed into compost, while the aluminium capsules are melted.

An amazing effort in collecting used dental packaging!   Congratulations to Kauri 2 our winning class for collecting the most waste, followed close behind by Pohutukawa 8.  All the items have now been shipped away to Terracycle for recycling.
