We’re continuing our partnership with Terracycle and recycling Capri Sun and Honest Kids drink pouches, Ziploc (or other brand) baggies, and  glue sticks and bottles.  Terracycle recycles consumer waste and creates new products.  We started
recycling Ziploc products in February 2011 and collected almost 9,500 baggies.  Last school year we collected 4,005 drink pouches. We receive $0.02 for each usable item – that means we earned $269.24 while keeping everything we shipped
Terracycle from the landfill.

At lunch, students can just empty out their drink pouches or plastic bags and put them in the recycle boxes in the lunch room. If you want to participate at home, we ask that the bags be relatively clean and dry, and the drink pouches be empty.
Gather them up and then drop them off in the lunch room. We will also accept Ziploc (or other brand) hard plastic containers. Elmer’s glue sticks and bottles can be recycled in the work rooms.
