Terracycle

A few weeks ago, I just happened to be in the office at school when Terracycle called to talk to me. They wanted to find out what I thought about their cookie wrapper/drink pouch/candy wrapper/chip bag collection program and how I use it in the classroom.

Here is the published article in the local paper, the Chester County Independent: http://www.chestercountyindependent.com/photos/CCI06182009B.pdf
Check it out!

Please check and see if anyone locally is upcycling these waste items for Terracycle. It is one way to keep some waste out of our landfills. Not one of these items that is being upcycled is biodegradable; it just sits in the landfill FOREVER!

Hey Carrabba!! This is Emily, the girl you talked to from TerraCycle. I just wanted to say Thank You for talking to me and to tell you how excited I am to see the article on your blog! I am actually just an intern for TerraCycle over the summer and I just graduated from college this past May. So this is the first article I have ever written and seen in a newspaper!! I am really happy about it :-D
