Did you know those glue sticks you buy for your kids are recyclable? My daughters' elementary school started collecting empty Elmer's glue bottles and glue sticks which are then rinsed out and brought Wal-Mart starting Earth Day, April 22, 2008 through the end of the school year.
"More than 40 million students use Elmer's glue and glue sticks annually," said Terri Brown, Elmer's marketing services and communications manager. "By recycling Elmer's, the #1 brand of school glue, teachers and students can take pride in improving their communities. To provide teachers with all the tools to execute recycling, we have developed a classroom program with online support to keep students engaged and excited about the recycling project."
Visit the Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program Web site, http://www.elmersgluecrew.com/ to join (at no cost) or learn more about the program. Good to know: they will accept all brands of empty glue bottles and glue sticks for recycling, but they cannot guarantee that they will meet the guidelines for recycling these different types of plastics.
