Every year MILLIONS of drink pouches end up in dumpsters and landfills across Canada.
TerraCycle, Kool-Aid, and Del Monte, are working together to put an end to this awful loss of resources. As an eco-friendly innovator, TerraCycle converts used drink pouches into unique fashion bags, tote bags, pencil cases, and other items for kids and adults!
TerraCycle is proud to team up with the largest producers of packaged drinks in the country, Kool-Aid and Del Monte, to address this problem! Together with your help we CAN make a difference!
Once you have signed up for the Drink Pouch Brigade, you can log in and chose either to download prepaid shipping labels (the eco-friendly option) or to have TerraCycle mail you 4 prepaid labels.
We ask you to take each shipment to a nearby UPS drop-off location. Please make sure that your shipment contains at least 250 juice pouches. Note that it is possible to send us 1000 pouches in any one shipment. This really helps locations that collect large numbers of pouches each week.
The TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigade™ program allows almost any school, community organization or individual to save drink pouches from taking up space in landfills.
For each Drink Pouch that you collect and send, TerraCycle will give you two TerraCycle points ($.02) which can be redeemed for payment toward any non-profit, school, or charity of your choice! If you don't have a charity currently in mind, you may choose from a list of existing charities. Please click here to learn more about the TerraCycle Points Program.
There are no signup fees or other costs to you whatsoever.
The following types of waste can be collected through the Drink Pouch Brigade: any brand and any size drink pouch. NOTE: Juice boxes and plastic bottles are NOT acceptable.
