If you are still reading thanks. I am new at this and trying to make sure my posts are interesting and informative. Anyways.... :) This Program is absolutely awesome! For each approved package that you send in your account is credited a minimum of $.02 which you can donate to a charity or assign a local school to recieve your donation. Everything sent in helps to reduce our carbon footprint and keep usable products out of landfills. There is a really good article at http://www.terracycle.net/how-terracycle-helps-the-environment.html that gives a good overview of how they help the environment. Most of their programs will send you a pre-paid shipping label or through the mail to use when donating items as well, so it costs nothing but time, an empty box and some tape. :)
It's really simple! Get involved today! Leave me a message below or join the brigade yourself! or Both!
