School needed for promotion

MILFORD — TerraCycle Inc. is looking for a Milford area school interested in receiving free Bird Feeders and an entire Ornithology curriculum to help teach their students about nature and the importance of protecting wildlife. In early October a representative from TerraCycle will be presenting the company’s newest eco-friendly product, an entry Bird Feeder packaged in a reused 2-liter soda bottle, at Milford Wal*Mart, For every three Bird Feeders that are purchased at $4.88 each on that day, TerraCycle will donate one Feeder to the school along with the Pennsylvania State Ornithology curriculum to the school. TerraCycle developed the Bird Feeder and this program with hopes of inspiring young children to love and appreciate wildlife. If younger generations learn to respect and enjoy wildlife at an early age, they will be more likely to protect animals and their environment, as they grow older. TerraCycle works extensively with schools across America by running three recycling fundraisers. The first is the Bottle Brigade, a program in which schools collect used 20 oz soda bottles and TerraCycle donates six cents for every de-labeled bottle returned to TerraCycle. The newest collection program is for kid’s drink pouches. TerraCycle pays schools one or two cents a piece for these non-recyclable pouches. TerraCycle is now working with Stonyfield Farm to collect used yogurt containers, donating two or five cents depending on size. Visit www.terracycle.net/dpb to sign up or for more information. If you would like to sign up a school for the program or want images or samples of the Bird Feeder please contact Jennifer Wilkie at 416-661-9676.
