Build a box to collect your empty glue bottles and glue sticks.
Need some inspiration? Check out our collection of box art, or
see what other classrooms did with their boxes in our gallery.
Encourage your students to toss their empty glue bottles and
sticks into the box. All bottles that are marked with a #1 or #2
recycling symbol are recyclable, but keep in mind that your
Elmer's Glue Sticks will not be marked because their special
plastic can only be recycled at designated facilities. Clean
your bottles and sticks the best you can with warm water (this
is a great task for your students!). Once you've collected at
least 250 empties, put them into a reused box (about the size of
a copy paper box). Sign into your account at terracycle.net and
click on "Get Mailing Labels" on the left side of the Elmer's
Glue Crew Brigade page to print a pre-paid shipping label. Place
the label on your box and take it to a UPS drop-off location
**Please note that there are a limited number of shipments. Once
