Raise Money For Your Favorite School or Charity with this Eco-Friendly Fundraiser
With a motto of “Turning Garbage Into Gold,” New Jersey-based TerraCycle is making it their mission to “eliminate the idea of waste” by creating products that are made from and packaged in garbage. To date they’ve kept over one million plastic soda bottles out of the landfill by using the bottles to package their cleaning agents and organic garden supplies. It’s a unique concept, and one that can really help to change the way products are currently made and used.
The best part about this eco-capitalist initiative is that you and your kids can raise money for your favorite school or charity by helping the folks at TerraCycle collect the garbage they need to stay afloat. The company is currently collecting (and paying good money for) yogurt containers, drink pouches, energy bar wrappers and soda bottles. They’ll send you a postage paid box so that all you have to do is collect the trash and send it on it’s way. Sign up at TerraCycle to start saving the planet and earning some earth-friendly cash.

Thanks for this information. I printed some out and sent it to a local church that really could use it. They have been sending their youth out on the weekends to hand out free bottles of water with church advertisement taped onto the bottles. *sigh*
