Recycle your kids’ juice pouches, yogurt cups and more
Most (hopefully, all!) of us are in the habit of recycling paper, plastic, cans and glass containers. Now we take another step towards reducing waste by registering with TerraCycle, a company which has paired up with a few green retailers in their quest to recycle even more empty packaging which usually ends up in the garbage.
Sign up with TerraCycle to send in your yogurt containers, empty juice/drink pouches, energy bar wrappers and soda bottles. The company will supply you with large bags for the wrappers and boxes for the yogurt containers and bottles. When you?ve filled the provided containers, just send the prepaid packages back to TerraCycle and they will donate money to various causes for each returned wrapper and container.
And even better, they will recycle your garbage to make new products. Yogurt cups will become planting pots, juice pouches and energy-bar wrappers will be turned into tote bags, pencil cases and other accessories and soda bottles will be used for several other TerraCycle products.
