Maplewood Dog Park Gets New Gear from Recycled Plastics

In partnership with ShopRite and local officials, TerraCycle helped transform over 4.6 tons of hard‑to‑recycle flexible plastics — including chip bags, pet food pouches and snack wrappers — into durable dog‑park equipment now installed at South Mountain Dog Park in Maplewood/Millburn, NJ. The initiative collected and processed more than 9,125 pounds of flexible film plastic from customers at five participating ShopRite locations, diverting waste from landfills and giving materials a second life as agility ramps, climbable platforms and play structures for local dogs. The project shows how community engagement and public‑private collaboration can turn waste into lasting, positive community resources, while demonstrating TerraCycle’s commitment to recycling materials often considered unrecyclable.
