| Recycling Opportunity |
New Recycling Opportunity!
For the past year Hamilton has been working with Terracycle to earn money by recycling corks, juice pouches, and glue sticks & bottles. We can earn $.02 for each item sent in, and Terracycle turns our trash into cool recycled products. We have earned $40 this year alone just from corks and juice pouches!
Now in addition to these items, we are part of the Kashi brigade, and can earn $.02 for each Kashi brand wrapper we send in, and every penny goes to the PTA. Save your cereal boxes, granola bar wrappers, and any container from a Kashi product. You can leave items in the red collection buckets at the front of the school, or with your child's teacher. And keep bringing in your batteries, ink cartridges, and cell phones so we can recycle them safely. Thanks for helping us get greener every day!
