TerraCycle

​The Green Team’s Upcycling Project

Help The Green Team keep certain PACKAGING MATERIALS out of the waste stream and earn some funds for other green projects. Some packaging materials is difficult to recycle, but TerraCycle can transform them into useful objects or materials. The UUFNW Green Team will be collecting: 

  • DRINK POUCHES (with or without the straw) and other retort pouches;
  • ORAL CARE PRODUCTS
  • CRINKLY SNACK BAGS, CEREAL LINERS, CANDY WRAPPERS, ETC.
  • HOUSEHOLD/CLEANER PACKAGING: PUMPS, CAPS, TRIGGERS, POUCHES
For what we collect, we receive a donation from TerraCycle to support a Green Team project. Help us! Help the environment! Every week, bring these packaging materials to the Fellowship and put them in the special boxes.
