Elmer's Glue Crew Brigade

There are millions of glue sticks and glue bottles that end up in landfills every year, contributing to the ever-increasing concern over sustainability. As such, the Elmer’s Glue Crew Recycling Program® is partnering with TerraCycle™ to provide teachers with another method to keep these materials out of landfills.

Through this innovative program, people will be able to collect empty Elmer’s glue sticks and glue bottles; once they can fill a box full of them, they can ship the box to TerraCycle. As an eco-friendly leader, TerraCycle will upcycle the plastic from Elmer’s products into innovative new products!

BREAKING NEWS! Participants in the Elmer's Glue Crew Brigade can now send in a minimum of 250 units of glue sticks and bottles rather than the previous minimum of 500!

The Elmer’s Glue Crew Recycling Program is a fun, hands-on way to teach about recycling. Members can find helpful recycling- related curriculum and project ideas that will encourage students to recycle and help our environment. Best of all, classrooms have the opportunity to submit recycling ideas and win great prizes, including a year- end Grand Prize!

The Elmer’s Glue Crew Brigade™ is open to Elmer’s Glue Crew Recycling Program members. Not a member yet, or want more information? Go to ElmersGlueCrew.com to register.

Once you participate in an Elmer’s Glue Crew Brigade, TerraCycle will donate $0.02 to the school of your choice for each item collected. If you don’t have a charity in mind, you can select a default school and they will benefit from your green-minded deed!

This program is entirely free – participants can download pre-paid shipping labels directly from our web site and affix them to their own boxes before sending them in. There are no sign-up or participation fees.

*Please note that there are a limited number of shipments. Once the limit has been reached, users will no longer be able to print free shipping labels to send in their materials. Remember, you can still keep empty bottles and sticks from landfills by returning to Walmart from Earth Day (April 22) to the end of your school year, as part of the original Elmer’s Glue Crew Recycling Program.
