How candy wrappers got N.L. students talking about recycling plastic

Howell and her classmates saved their candy wrappers — eventually amounting to six garbage bags, stuffed full — as part of a recycling campaign organized by CBC stations in Gander, Corner Brook and Happy Valley-Goose Bay for the month following Halloween. Anyone was welcome to drop off snack wrappers at the stations, which after Nov. 30 will be sent to Terracycle, a company repurposing hard-to-recycle plastics.
