Douglas MacArthur Kids Celebrate Earth Month

Douglas MacArthur Elementary School is celebrating Earth Month in April by keeping the local landfill clearer and earning money for charity.

Earth Month is an opportune time for the school’s celebration, according to a news release. The school participates in TerraCycle's free Brigade programs by sending in hard-to-recycle products and packaging and earning points for each piece they send in.

The points can be converted to charity gifts or cash. So far, Douglas MacArthur School has helped TerraCycle donate more than $7 million to charity and kept more than 2.5 billion pieces of waste from ending up in a landfill.

Anyone with questions may contact Lauren Giles with TerraCycle, Inc., at 609-393-4252, ext. 3700.
