Terracycle wants your trash

Terracycle is so devoted to finding creative uses for your waste that they will gladly take several different types of plastic containers off your hands and in exchange, donate money to your favorite charity. Yogurt containers get turned into planting pots, drink pouches into handbags and soda bottles are reborn as bird feeders and plant food containers.

The beginnings of Terracycle were built on worm poop. Co-founders Tom Szaky and Jon Beye found worms to be a great generator of plant food and it was out of frugal necessity that the pair started collecting soda bottles from recycle bins to contain their wares. Certified organic and packaged in someone else's waste, this concept is a great guide for green business.


All this and they make a great product too. Their plant food is healthy for you and your plants without the worry of chemicals leaching into your garden. As an added bonus, it says "Worm Poop" right on the bottle making it an amusing conversation starter if you were to buy some as a gift for the gardener in your life this holiday season.
