What is TerraCycling?
TerraCycle is a company that offers national programs (Brigades®) to collect previously non-recyclable or hard to recycle waste. While some programs
have a cost, most of the Brigades offer free shipping as well as a donation for each piece of garbage that you collect. There are about 40 different collection
programs at a given time. Many of the items are recycled into unique products such as pencil cases, backpacks, and mini-speakers, while others are just
recycled into larger products. See what kinds of things Terracycle makes here.
