Park benches from oral care trash

Schools across the Christchurch district are being hit up for used toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, floss containers and packaging which could wind up as arty benches in the local park. Already 13 local schools, two pre-schools and two Scout groups are collecting oral care product waste for free shipment to Sydney in the innovative TerraCycle initiative which has been running for two years.
