Green Team – promoting a circular economy

posted in: Clubs, Community, General

Every Tuesday at the south blacktop area during pickup time (~3pm) Green Team will be collecting for Terracycle on the south blacktop area.

You may grab a collection bin from us and start diverting the following from your household or office waste streams:

-ALL Kroger (King Soopers brand) & Simple Truth plastic packaging
– Toothpaste tubes, plastic toothbrushes & packaging, floss containers (NO electric toothbrushes, battery toothbrushes, and/or their parts)
– Squeeze sauce and yogurt pouches, empty and caps on (no washing required)
– Juice pouches like Capri sun (please switch to juice boxes – these recycle curbside)
– Broken plastic toys that cannot be reused
– ALL spent/broken plastic pens, mechanical pencils, markers, sharpies, highlighters, glue sticks not bottles, art paint trays and all their plastic packaging too!

TerraCycle is a free recycling program funded by brands, manufacturers, and retailers around the world to help collect and recycle “hard 2 recycle” waste. More information can be found at this link: https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades.
