School wins playground made of recycled dental products

The competition was sponsored by Shop Rite and Colgate, and the playground comes from TerraCycle, a company that makes playgrounds from recycled material. “We’re able to do that because we collect so many toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes,” TerraCycle’s Director of Client Service told the crowd at the ribbon cutting. “That’s all thanks to you guys at Flanders Elementary School and to schools all across the country.”
