Plastic items accepted for ‘upcycling’ drive

The South Brunswick Senior Center has teamed up with TerraCycle to collect plastic materials as a fundraiser.

TerraCycle pays for each article collected as well as postage to mail in the items. The company then “upcycles” the goods into eco-friendly products.

Brita pitchers, pitcher filters, water bottles and faucet filters; any brand of potato chip wrappers; and electronics such as cellphones, laptops and ink cartridges will be accepted.

For more information, call the Senior Center at 732-329-4000, ext. 7670.
