T2T teams with Broward College to expand TerraCycle program
To increase the amount of materials upcycled by TerraCycle , Trash to Treasure is partnering with Broward College to collect ALL of TerraCycle's program materials. College students earning service hours will sort and prepare materials for shipping to TerraCycle.
TerraCycle pays nonprofits for materials collected. All revenue will go to the Michelle Lawless Scholarship Fund. The Fund provides scholarships to females pursuing an Environmental Science A.A.
Check out the list. You can bring the materials to Trash to Treasure during our Creative Reuse Center hours. If you have any questions, email T2T friend Jarrod Hersh . He works at BC and is coordinating the program over there.
Thanks for supporting reuse and recycling.
