TerraCycle is a highly-awarded, international upcycling and recycling company that offers national programs (Brigades®) to collect previously non-recyclable or difficult-to-recycle packaging and products, repurposing the material into affordable, innovative products. TerraCycle is widely considered the world’s leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable, post-consumer waste.
TerraCycle works with more than 100 major brands in the U.S. and 22 countries overseas to collect used packaging and products that would otherwise be destined for landfills. It repurposes that waste into new, innovative materials and products that are available online and through major retailers.

The Brigades that Olive Chapel Elementary participates in offer free shipping as well as a donation for each piece of garbage collected. For instance, for each drink pouch we collect and send to Terracycle, our school earns 2 cents. Not only are we earning significant money for our school, but we have kept all of this waste from ending up in the landfill.
