Perhaps you've never heard of this amazing company called TerraCycle. TerraCycle collects trash sent in to them by collecting squads and turns the trash into treasure! They are so good at upcycling that they are even getting their own show called Garbage Moghuls premiering on National Geographic this Saturday at 7.
Not only does TerraCycle save thousands of tons of trash from hitting landfills (not today, Frito Lay!), but they also donate to charity! To date they've raised over 1.2 million dollars for charity.
You can help TerraCycle by becoming one of their trash collectors and get money in donations for it, too! They collect things from candy wrappers to drink pouches, yogurt cups to cookie wrappers, cellphones to Aveeno Bottles, gum wrappers to pens! Click here to find out what they collect and how to get in on the upcycling!
TerraCycle has a page dedicated to upcycled school products. Here are my picks:
One-inch Three Ring Binder : Chip Bags -currently not available-
Mini Back-pack : Starburst Wrappers -currently not available-
Sketchbook : Candy Wrappers -currently not available-
Spiral Notebook : Candy Wrappers -currently not available-
They also sell toys, gardening equipment, home products and more!
