TerraCycle announces the 2018 Save Water Garden promotion, the first-ever pledging contest with Colgate-Palmolive (“Colgate”), the global oral care leader, and regional retailer ShopRite. The partnership calls upon school students, teachers and communities to take the pledge to save water on behalf of their school for a chance to win one of two (2) recycled gardens made from recycled oral care waste.
Starting July 8, schools located throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut and Maryland are eligible to enter for a chance to win a garden made from recycled toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and floss containers by joining TerraCycle’s Colgate® Oral Care Recycling Program, a free, national program hosted by Colgate and TerraCycle.
Through September 30, consumers can pledge to save water on behalf of a participating school once a day during the promotion timeline. Thetop two (2) schools with the most pledges by the end of the contest period will win the grand prize gardens. Grand prize winners will be announced in October and the gardens will be installed next Spring.
Schools can encourage their community to pledge online by logging onto www.terracycle.com/colgateshopritegarden2018. ShopRite is also encouraging community participation in the contest with displays throughout its 270 stores and information about the contest on ShopRite’s Facebook page.
A full set of rules for the 2018 “Save Water Garden” can be viewed at www.terracycle.com/colgateshopritegarden2018.
All participants in the Colgate® Oral Care Recycling Program are making a difference for the environment and their community. The program is an ongoing activity open to any individual, family, school or community group. For each piece of waste sent in using a pre-paid shipping label, participants can earn money toward donations to the school or charity of their choice.
