Have you noticed some special bins outside of Founder's Hall the last few months? They are our Terracycle containers! What is Terracycle? I'm glad you asked!
TerraCycle upcycles and recycles traditionally non-recycable waste into a large variety of consumer products. We have joined their "brigades" for snack bags, energy bars and now baby food pouches (new this month!) Because they are designed to accept these particular items, we ask that you put general recyclables in the recycling bins around UUCR, and only place the appropriate items in the bins.

The snack bag brigade can take individual, multi-pack, and family sized snack bags.

The energy bar brigade includes all foil lined wrappers for energy bars, granola bars, meal replacement bars, protein bars, and diet bars.

Our newest brigade - the baby food pouch brigade - accepts all baby food pouches, along with their caps. As a Mom of a 10-month old and a 2-year old, I know how convenient and popular those pouches are!

Any plans on offering recycling of Tetrapaks? Lots of people get things like rice/almond milk and coconut water in them.
