Terracycle, a NJ-based company that makes usable products from items that would otherwise be trash, is teaming up with Nabisco, Kool-Aid, Capri Sun and Honest Kids to offer a recycling fundraiser to non-profit organizations.
Briar Bush has joined the Cookie Wrapper Brigade and the Drink Pouch Brigade to collect and recycle these items. For each drink pouch and cookie wrapper collected, Briar Bush will receive $.02. While it is a small amount alone, it is amazing how many of these items end up in trash cans! Rather than throw them away (especially after lunch or snacks), save them for Briar Bush!
We will have collection bags in the center for cookie wrappers (Oreo, Chips Ahoy, 100 Calorie Packs, etc.) and juice drink pouches (Kool-Aid, Capri Sun, etc.) This does not include candy bar wrappers or juice boxes.
In order to send our collection bags in for a donation, we must collect a minimum of 200 cookie wrappers and 100 drink pouches, so start saving!! This is an easy way to help Briar Bush earn extra funds to support our great community programs.
Please empty any crumbs from cookie wrappers, as well as remove the straw from drink pouches. Terracycle is asking that drink pouches be cut across the bottom (not bottom of front or back panel, but the section between them) and rinsed.
Thanks in advance for your help!
