Great Plain Elementary students are cleaning up the environment and earning money for their school by collecting drink pouches from the lunchroom or classroom.
They can earn playgrounds, park benches and recycling bins for their school.
The school participates in the Drink Pouch Brigad®, a free recycling program for individuals or groups from Capri Sun and eco-pioneer TerraCycle.
To mark the milestone of almost 200 million drink pouches collected and almost $4 million given to charity since the start of the program six years ago, Capri Sun is increasing the prizes and benefits of recycling through the program.
In addition to earning money for each drink pouch collected and sent to TerraCycle, schools can now win prizes made from recycle drink pouches, like park benches, recycling bins and more.
