NEW!!! Introducing Terracycle™ Drink Pouch Bridage!
TerraCycle™ is helping students and teachers earn cash for our school! For every empty drink pouch turned in, TerraCycle will donate 2 cents to Columbus Elementary School PTA for playground improvements and other PTA-sponsored programs. TerraCycle then upcycles the waste packaging material into fun new products which are sold at major retailers, stopping the products from ending up in landfills and polluting the environment. It’s a win for our school, it’s a win for the environment, and it’s a win for you!
There are two ways to contribute!
AT SCHOOL: Students who bring any brand drink pouch in their lunchbox will be able to remove the straw and empty the pouch at the end of their lunch and place in the specially marked collection bin (just like they do with their milk cartons).
FROM HOME: collect emptied drink pouches at home - remove the straw and any remaining juice then put in a ziplock baggie. When the baggie is full, have your child bring to the school and place in the same container in the cafeteria. If you have A LOT to turn in, email columbuspta@yahoo.com and we can arrange a special "pick up" of the pouches.
