gcan 10 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Our pack recently got into this... http://www.terracycle.net/ You can send in recyclables to this company, and they make things out of them AND send your pack a check! You can send them Capri-sun type pouches- something that never gets recycled. They sent me postage paid bags to send the stuff back in, so the only thing it 'costs' is storage space.

mkarlinm 11 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks for sharing. Wow. I need to show this to our scouts. A great lesson in recycling and fundraising. Melissa Link to post Share on other sites
Lady_Leigh67 10 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wow! We already do the can recycling at our school, but this is cool! Thanks for the link! Link to post Share on other sites
ManyHats 10 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Is it any drink pouch or just Capri Sun? We go through a lot in a year, but usually get Target brand, since it doesn't have red dye and is cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
Karen_216 10 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Looks like Capri Sun, Honest brand and kool aid are .02 per pouch and others are .01 per pouch. Amy not be a lot but a little goes a long way and it teaches the kids to be environmental. I'm going to mentio to my pack to see if they want to sign up. They can collect at den meetings and bring to pack meetings. Link to post Share on other sites
gcan 10 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's any juice pouch, just some are worth more than others. I figured it's stuff that gets chucked anyway- teaches the boys that you never know what you can recycle! fyi... I saw the tote bags they make out of juice pouches both in Target for like $10 and in a tourist shop in San Francisco for $25!! Link to post Share on other sites
