High School Program Collects Trash, Gets Cash

Hillsborough High School Industrial Technology teacher Tim Zavacki is exchanging the school’s trash for cash. Zavacki’s partnered with Terracycle, the retailer focused on creating products from hard-to-recycle or non-recyclable items, to collect with chip packages, cereal boxes, empty glue bottles and sticks, juice containers and more, ensuring the items stay out of a landfill—and nets money for a school club to boot.
