Febreze Freshness Rewards Contest: Win prizes for your charities

Former_MSE_Andrea

I spotted this, this morning and thought Charity board followers might be interested

Recycling organisation Terracycle is running a contest awarding prizes to charities in exchange for recycling cleaning product bottle caps, spray tops and more.

If you run a charity or organisation you may want to ask your fundraisers to join in this contest, nominating your charity - it could help your charity AND reduce waste.

What's the prize?

A total £2,500 in prizes will be shared between 12 winners.

The Grand Prize Public Collector Winner will
receive a charity contribution of 50,000 TerraCycle points (£500 worth) to
donate to his/hers school, charity or non-profit organization of choice.

The Grand Prize Private Collector Winner will receive a charity contribution of 25,000
TerraCycle points (£250 worth) to donate to his/hers school, charity or nonprofit
organization of choice.

What do collectors have to do?

• Join Terracycle.
  
• Collect any brand cleaning product bottle caps and spray tops. It's run in association with Febreze but it doesn't matter which brand they are.
  
• Clean them thoroughly and dry them.
  
• Put them in a cardboard box
  
• Print off the special postage label in your Terracycle account and send them in - postage is free.

What can you send in?

• Plastic bottle caps and plastic trigger heads (used for air care and home cleaning products such as kitchen /bathroom cleaner sprays)
• Flexible wipe packaging (used for home cleaning products)
• Pumps and caps for home cleaning products
• Plastic air freshener packaging (any cardboard should be recycled with your household recycling)
• Plastic air fresheners and air freshener cartridges.

When does it end?

The contest ends 8 July 2016.

There's more info on the Terracycle website.
