Terracycle

Drop off your typically hard-to-recycle items, and help earn money for the school. The more we send, the more money we make - and the more solid waste we keep out of landfills!

Recycling the “Non-recyclable”

We recycle certain “non-recyclable” waste by sending it to TerraCycle to earn money for the school.

Don’t worry about separating, just drop your donations in the trash container next to the playground with the red lid.

Learn more on TerraCycle’s website.
