Terracycle Update #resvt #vted

For over 6 years the Richmond Elementary School has been collecting Terracycle items in their classrooms.

Terracycle is an upcycle program where, what would be waste, is turned into other items such as plastic recycling bins, tote bags, clipboards, etc. Check out their website to learn more: www.terracycle.com.

As a community, we have raised over $1,316 and saved over 79,839 pieces of trash from the landfill. All proceeds support our Richmond Food Shelf, another win-win!

We collect the following items and only these exact items. Please follow this list.

Items we collect in the CLASSROOMS:

·  Juice pouches with straws (Like Capri Sun)
·  Granola bar wrappers
·  GoGo Squeez
·  Elmer's glue bottles/sticks (Elmer's brand only)
·  Tape dispensers
·  Pens, markers, mechanical pencils

We also can collect items from HOME:

Items can be left in the Terracycle bin located outside the main front school door or inside the school in Terracycle bin located by the Lost and Found.

We only take the items specifically on this list.  PLEASE follow it exactly.
