Westridge is recycling the unrecyclable with TerraCycle!

Help us be GREEN and earn GREEN by recycling your hard-to-recycle trash! Westridge is proud to share that we have a TerraCycle recycling hub for common things we toss in the trash that can’t be recycled locally. The best part? Just by dropping off trash, you help us raise funds for our school! The recycling hub is located across the hall from the main office. There is a blue bin with the TerraCycle logo on it. Students, parents, staff and faculty are invited to use it!  

Below are the ONLY items that we are currently collecting:

• All Kroger brands flexible plastic packaging including: Simple Truth, Private Selection, Kroger, Comforts, Pet Pride, Luvsome, Abound and any other Kroger Co brands 

• ALL brands of squeezable pouches and caps

• ALL brands of plastic and foil drink pouches and straws

• ALL Bimbo USA packaging. Brands included: Bimbo, Thomas, Orowheat, Sara Lee, Entenmann’s, Ball Park and Boboli

• Little Bites brand flexible plastic packaging

• ALL Garnier brand skin and hair care packaging, including flexible plastic pouches, bottles, pumps, lids and tubes/caps

• ALL brands of used, CLEAN socks. NO stockings, tights or panty hoses, please. Holes and stains are okay, but the socks must be clean!

• ALL SpinMaster and Vtech/LeapFrog toys, games and electronic devices (EXCEPT Kinetic Sand and Orbeez). SpinMaster brand flexible plastic packaging is also recyclable through the program.

When dropping off your recyclable products, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:

• PLEASE make sure to only drop off accepted items (listed above). 

• Items don’t have to be sparkling clean, but PLEASE remove as much product as possible (e.g., applesauce or juice from pouches).

*Please note that we currently do not have the ability to recycle every product with a TerraCycle logo on it. ONLY the items listed above. Thank you for your commitment to our school and the environment! Have questions or want to get involved? Please contact Amanda Hruza at WestridgeTerracycle@gmail.com.
