Middlebury School Winner In National Recycling Photo Contest

From Terracycle: Middlebury Elementary School has been named one of five winners through this year’s Entenmann's® Little Bites®: I <3 (Heart) Recycling photo submission sweepstakes, in partnership with recycling pioneer, TerraCycle®. As a winner of the contest, they will receive 12 boxes of Entenmann’s Little Bites product and 40 upcycled Entenmann’s Little Bites pencil cases made from Little Bites packaging.

“[Recycling] helps not only the community, but the world,” said Krista Legg of Middlebury Elementary. “Keeping plastic out of the landfills is very important for the environment. Why not make things out of recycled plastic? There’s no need to make more plastic, we have plenty to recycle and make new again!”

The Entenmann’s Little Bites: I <3 Recycling photo submission sweepstakes launched nationwide June 1, 2018, to schools, businesses and individuals participating in the Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouch Recycling Program, a free recycling program operated by Entenmann's Little Bites and TerraCycle.

To enter, participants printed out the “I <3 Recycling” poster, wrote how recycling Little Bites pouches makes them feel, snapped a photo with the completed poster, and submitted the photo using a form on the promotion page. Candidates received 2,000 TerraCycle points, redeemable for a cash donation to the school or non-profit of their choice just for entering, and the five (5) winners were selected at random.

“The sustainability of our future and environment is so important for the children of generations to come,” said Kim Bremer, Director of Marketing for Entenmann’s Little Bites. “Entenmann’s Little Bites feels honored and proud to stand next to TerraCycle in such an important global issue.”

The Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouch Recycling Program recently hit a nationwide milestone of more than 3.7 million pouches diverted from landfill and over $62,000 donated to schools and charities. The program is open to any individual, school or organization interested in reducing local landfill waste.
