Just in time to celebrate Earth Month, international recycling leader TerraCycle announced today the 2022 Brita® and Meijer® Recycled Garden Contest. This program creates an opportunity for one school’s children and its community to win a garden made from recycled Brita waste, and learn the importance of giving materials a new life.
Schools located throughout Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin who are enrolled in any TerraCycle National Recycling Program are eligible to participate in the contest.
In an initiative that began March 27, shoppers can request a free shipping label to recycle Brita products and packaging and vote for their local school to win the recycled garden. All you have to do is visit a nearby Meijer store and scan the QR code on the Brita display with your phone. Consumers can also vote from the comfort of their home by visiting the contest page, www.terracycle.com/en-US/
Each vote cast through July 2 will earn participating schools one (1) ‘vote’ towards winning the grand prize learning garden bundle consisting of recycled garden beds, picnic tables, benches and more.
“At TerraCycle, we prioritize teaching our future generation about the importance of respecting the planet and protecting its vital natural resources,” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky. “As part of this contest, Brita and Meijer have chosen not only to promote sustainability to their consumers, but also to fund a prize that will have a profound, long-term impact on a deserving community.”
