MTS is Recycling the Unrecyclable With TerraCycle!

Help us be green and earn green by recycling your hard-to-recycle rubbish.

Mother Teresa is proud to share that we’ve set up a TerraCycle recycling hub for common things we toss in the rubbish that can’t be recycled locally. The best part? Just by dropping off rubbish, you help us raise funds for our school!

The recycling hub is located out the front of the school hall. Students, parents and staff are invited to use it.

The more we recycle together, the more Mother Teresa earns.

How it works

  • Members of the Mother Teresa community (like you!) drop off hard-to-recycle rubbish at our recycling hub.
  • Once we have a full box, we send it to TerraCycle (using a free shipping label).
  • TerraCycle awards us points that we can redeem as a cash donation.
  • We’ll use the dollars we earn fund sustainability projects around our school.

Here’s what you can drop off:

  • Empty pens, highlighters, and correction fluid containers
  • Used plastic sandwich wrap, and snack packaging
  • Used toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes, and dental floss containers

Tips for dropping off recycling

  • Start collecting accepted items in a box at home and bring it in once it’s full.
  • Items don’t have to be sparkling clean, but please remove as much product (e.g., crumbs from snack bags or soap from pump bottles) as possible.

About TerraCycle

TerraCycle is on a mission to eliminate the idea of waste. It develops ways to collect and recycle rubbish that is not generally accepted by traditional municipal recycling services, including face masks, toys, mascara wands, and much more.
