Timeline: May through December
Prize: Huggies brand diapers
How to Win: Collect the most diapers or be randomly selected each month.
Every year, millions of pieces of plastic diaper packaging end up in the garbage and then landfills. Huggies® Brand is partnering with TerraCycle® to help reduce the impact its packaging may have on the environment. As an eco-friendly innovator, TerraCycle is going to convert plastic waste diaper packaging into unique products.
For each approved plastic diaper packaging received, your collection location will be awarded two TerraCycle points. These points can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts, or for a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice.

Participating in this TerraCycle Brigade is totally free! There are no signup or participation fees, and the shipping is covered by the program. Once you have joined the Diaper Packaging Brigade®, simply follow the steps below to receive your TerraCycle points:
- Collect enough plastic diaper packaging to fill up a box or bag (approved waste is shown below). Remember to reuse a shipping box or bag and use eco-friendly padding.
