Now THIS is cool! I just found out about this amazing recycling program from TerraCycle. This organization accepts all kinds of waste that your local recycling program may reject, and turns it into cool and useful recycled products! They take everything from candy bar wrappers to cosmetic containers to pens. Its available in many countries around the world, including here in Canada. Here's how it works:
1. Visit www.terracycle.ca to sign up for free.
2. Pick the type of waste you'd like to collect.
3. Put out a collection box, get the word out, and wait for the box to fill.
4. Download and print a shipping label and ship to TerraCycle for FREE via UPS.
5. They turn your garbage into NEW products and materials.
6. On many items, they donate $0.02 per unit of waste to a charity of your choice!
You win, the planet wins and so does a worthy cause! I'll be signing up and collecting items through my work. You should too!
