As a father, I worry a great deal about the sheer volume of waste that my family and I produce. We dilligently sort the recyclables from the normal trash. Luckily for us, the recycling bin at the apartment is comingled, so we don’t have to separate the glass from the paper, etc.

But what do you do when it can’t be recycled?

Today I was happy to find the blog ‘Riding With No Hands‘, a review site of, well, near as I can tell, everything!

The entry that brought me there was a review of a company called TerraCycle, Inc. TerraCycle takes the unrecyclable material you find around the house and turns it into a new product. 

A few examples:

The Drink Pouch backpack

The Waste Wrapper Notebook

Even Firelogs made from unrecyclable wax cardboard!

They even have natural household cleaners and lawn and garden products.

Not only are these products very affordable, but TerraCycle will even pay you for your ‘unrecyclable’ material! Everybody wins!

Riding With No Hands is giving you a chance to win a TerraCycle product. Please see the blog post ‘Mama’s Got A Brand New (Used) Bag… *Giveaway*‘ for details!

***Update***

I guess I could now call this a sponsored blog, because, yep! I was a winner! WOO-HOO! Can’t wait to see my messenger bag! 

Thanks again to Riding With No Hands and Terracycle for this giveaway!
