Sheridan Public School new drop-off for air care packaging People can help Sheridan Public School by recycling waste from products used to clean or freshen their home or air. The local public elementary school is a new recycling drop-off point for all air and home care packaging, which will be delivered regularly to recycling company TerraCycle Canada. This type of waste includes: used plastic air fresheners and plug-in refills; trigger heads, pumps and caps; and flexible, home-cleaning wipe packs of any brand. The school is asking residents to bring in as much of this waste as possible, both to ensure it's diverted from local landfills and to help the school win a nationwide contest. The competition is part of TerraCycle's collection and recycling program called the Air and Home Care Brigade, which enables any brand of air-freshener cartridge or home-cleaning packaging to be recycled. The contest runs until the end of April. According to TerraCylce officials, plastic air fresheners and their packaging, trigger heads, screw caps from bathroom and kitchen cleaners, and used packs of disposable cleaning wipes are technically recyclable. However, recycling the mixed plastics is expensive and as a result, the infrastructure to enable it is not available across the country. That means the waste often ends up in landfills. This situation prompted Febreze and TerraCycle to team up in finding a solution for this waste stream -- and the Febreze Frenzy Contest was born. Sheridan Public School has so far collected 737 units of waste. TerraCycle said the contest is the largest in its history with $5,000 in charity donations to be shared among three winners. Sheridan also earns two TerraCycle points for each piece of air and home care packaging sent in, with each point redeemable for a one-cent contribution to the school. Donations can be made to the school collection box at 1555 Lancaster Dr., during business hours. For more information, visit www.terracycle.ca/ en-CA/brigades/air-care-brigade.html. TerraCycle is a world leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste and operates in 21 countries around the world. The company works with more than 50 major brands to collect used packaging and products (drink pouches, cookie wrappers, coffee packaging, used pens and more) that would otherwise end up in landfills. It re-purposes this waste into new products. The waste is collected through the company's Brigade programs, which are free fundraisers that reward schools, charities and non-profits for every piece of waste collected and returned. 9 | Friday, February 26, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Bhandari Family Dentistry returns to Oakville BrinG in your family for a CHeCk-up at our neW moDern CliniC Dr. Bhandari is an advocate of oral health with 31 years of experience.
