I have been using TerraCycle products for several years now (starting with the worm poop fertilizer) and I just realized that I have never posted about them. So what is up with that? Well, it is a special thanks to this post over at Low Impact Living for getting me off my butt with an announcement of TerraCycles latest products.

So what is so great about TerraCycle? The products are made from garbage, packaged in garbage and shipped in garbage. The products re-use waste that would otherwise clog our landfills and to top it all off, you can collect the garbage through your schools, groups, or charitable organizations and GET PAID to send that garbage to TerraCycle.

So what does TerraCycle do with all of this garbage? They take it from the landfill and turn it into useable everyday products. Products like the fertilizer I mentioned above and more. Backpacks, pens, notebooks, cleaners, firelogs, shopping bags and more!

If you want to know where to purchase their products in your area click here for a store in your area or here to purchase them online.
