Terracycle

The Terracycle committee requires at least TWO students to run the program. At the beginning of the year the committee communicated with teachers around the school to put in a boxes in each classroom that would be used to foil snack wrappers. 

Twice a week students go around to each classroom in the school to collect and count wrappers. They keep track of how much the school is using their terracycle. 

The MSMS_Sustain Terracycle was started in November of 2023 by student Preston Averbeck. Working with Central Vermont Solid Waste Management's School Director John Jose, Preston established the Terracycle committee to collect and recycle snack bags and wrappers. 

After the successful pilot project, the Terracycle Committe became a standing committee in MSMS_Sustain Leadership. In fact, two leadership students, Lila McLernan and Esme Beaudry wrote a $1350 grant application to Central Vermont Solid Waste Management. The grant was approved which has provided funding for the large Terracycle boxes utilized for collecting wrappers.
