Congrats to Cedar Ridge Elementary for placing second in the country in Capri Sun Recycling Contest through a company called TerraCycle.

Individuals can now bring any brand of hard-to-recycle air-freshener cartridges or home-cleaning packaging, to designated public collection locations sponsored by P&G's Febreze brand as part of the Air and Home Care Recycling Program with recycling pioneer TerraCycle®. Though technically recyclable, plastic air fresheners, trigger heads and screw caps often end up in landfills due to the high cost of recycling these mixed plastics.

And finally, toothbrushes. Hopefully, you're replacing your toothbrush regularly. But did you know you can recycle your toothbrush...AND it's packaging...AND your toothpaste...AND the toothpaste caps...AND the floss containers?!? Well, thanks to TerraCycle and Colgate you can give new life to all these former pieces of landfill.

Henkel Adhesives enlists TerraCycle to launch recycling program for anaerobic adhesive packaging. Bringing a new energy to the world of recycling, New Jersey-based TerraCycle is an innovative eco company developing simple programs to tackle the hard-to-recycle.

8,860 pounds of laminate flooring, wood and carpet were donated to a local reuse outlet; • 1,600 pounds of banner material was sent to a company that makes repurposed computer bags; • An estimated 6,500 chip bags were sent to TerraCycle to be 'upcycled' into backpacks;

Upcycled pet food packages are being turned into dog collars - really. And not just because your little Fido gnawed the bag into something resembling a mangled plastic Frisbee (or perhaps that was an actual Frisbee?) Thanks to Wellness Natural Pet Food – the first pet food brand to partner with recycler TerraCycle – pet owners can upcycle their pet’s food packaging into something new and useable, from collars to totes to, heck, even chairs.
