Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program

Ascenion has joined a free recycling program through terraCycle brigade. In honor or Earth Week, we have joined the Elmer's Glue Crew! We placed 3 collection bins throughout the school for empty Elmer's glue sticks and bottles. Participating is completely free, very easy, and shipping is covered. The website gives you all the steps to follow as well as poster that can be downloaded. For each container we collect, we will receive two points. TerraCycle points can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts, products bundles, or a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice.

From Earth Week to the last day of school, May 29, we collected 655 glue products to be recycled.
