TerraCycle - the recycling programme with a difference

 

I have come across a company called TerraCycle that helps you recycle things that cannot be recycled.

Here is some information from their website

"What is TerraCycle?

TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by recycling the "non-recyclable." Whether it's coffee capsules from your home, pens from a school, or plastic gloves from a manufacturing facility, TerraCycle can collect and recycle almost any form of waste. We partner with individual collectors such as yourself, as well as major consumer product companies, retailers, manufacturers, municipalities, and small businesses across 20 different countries. With your help, we are able to divert millions of pounds of waste from landfills and incinerators each month."

I went to their British website and was absolutely amazed at the range of free recycling programmes available there!  

Unfortunately when I went to the Spanish site there were not as many yet, but there was a programme for beach cleaning which would be fantastic for us here on Menorca!

 There is also one for used pens and writing materials

 There is also one for used pharmaceutical rubber gloves.

I have registered and am waiting for more information on how to use this service!

This all looks really interesting!
