Company Plants A Recycling Seed

There is a company called TerraCycle that is recruiting schools, churches and any other group interested in saving things such as milk cartons, two-liter bottles, juice pouches, yogurt containers and energy bar wrappers. The groups are paid for the items they collect. There are more than 4,000 groups working with the company. Instead of just throwing these things out it can help the enironment and teaches recycling.
TerraCycle products are packaged in reused milk cartons, liquid products in two liter soda bottles, which is also made into bird feeders. One of the ingredients in its organic all purpose plant food is worm castings whick is what comes out of worms once they process food. Their products are sold in many retailers including, Target, Lowes & Home Depot.

Sueanne, thanks so much for posting this! This is an awesome idea! My daughter does competitive cheerleading and the team is always looking for fundraising ideas. I will definitely pass this one along.

A great idea both for fundraising and the environment. I will be suggesting this one to our scout groups.

Thumbs up Thank you

Wow. This is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing the information about this company. I am always looking for ways to keep from just throwing items away. It seems like more and more companies are getting the hint.
