Audubon Elementary School students in Foster City helped keep garbage out of local landfills by participating in a program which encouraged recycling their lunchtime waste.
Local students recycled 1,441 empty apple sauce pouches through participation in a corporate partnership between garbage company TerraCycle and GoGoSqueez, which encourages environmentally conscious consumption.
Since signing up for the program, Audubon Elementary School students have recycled 3,278 pouches, which can be redeemed for charity gifts or cash donations.
