If you can’t recycle it, Upcycle It!

Don’t know what to do with all those candy wrappers, coffee bags, wine corks, used toothbrushes, and the rest of your unwanted but non-recyclable household items? Kristina Greene will take them.  Greene sends the donated goods to TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.ca/> , which pays two cents for each item received. That garbage is then transformed into everything from the standard backpacks, messenger bags,  coolers and  pencil cases to fences made out of drink pouches or  garbage cans made out of chip bags.
