Turn Your Garbage Into Money for the School

Drink Pouch Recycling: The PTA is collecting used CapriSun, Honest Kids, Kool-Aid and generic brand drink pouches. By collecting these, the PTA will receive 1-2 cents per pouch. There is a collection bin in the cafeteria.

We will send these to TerraCycle, Inc., which will turn these into bags, pencil pouches, folders, and more. Their products are available at Target.

It's important that only empty pouches without straws are collected. We are not collecting other types of beverage containers. We have collection bins at school. If collected at home, pouches should be cut at top seam, rinsed and turned in at Save-A-Lot or the elementary school.
