In our parting words we are excited to announce a partnership with the YMCA. In the week following Halloween, you’ll be able to drop off your all of your empty candy wrappers at at either the La Jolla Dan McKnney Family YMCA or the Encinitas Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA location.
As you may or may not know, candy wrappers are not conventionally recyclable. Furthermore, throwing them in your blue bin only clogs the sorting machines at material recovery facilities, making the entire recycling stream less efficient.
In light of that disappointing information, we will be collecting as many plastic candy wrappers as possible and bulk ship them to TerraCycle, a company who specializes in recycling the uncommonly recyclable plastics.
