TerraCycle is a  company, founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, that makes recycling easier and more convenient for a broader range of people. The companies headquarters is located in Trenton, New Jersey. They focus on waste that can be recycled, but is harder to recycle. TerraCycle never puts the waste they receive into landfills or incinerates it. Instead, they only reuse, upcycle, or recycle. They work with many different people in a variety of ways from setting up recycling programs on a municipal scale with community organizations, to helping companies create packaging that can be recycled. TerraCycle is great for anyone because through their free recycling programs, you can earn “TerraCycle Points” which can then be redeemed for charitable gifts, TerraCycle products, or donations to non-profits and schools. All the information about TerraCycle can be found on their website, https://www.terracycle.com/en-US. On the website you can also create an account which allows you to receive emails and get more information.
