Recycle Wine Corks


Here is green option for all you wine enthusiasts: you no longer have to throw your natural or synthetic corks in the trash. Instead, mail them to Trenton, NJ-based TerraCycle Inc., which turns them into new products. I learned about this company via the blog, 365 Days of Trash.
The company tells you how many stamps are needed to mail corks: for up to 10 corks use two stamps; up to 30 corks use four stamps. Address your mailing bag or envelope to: TerraCycle Cork Brigade, 121 New York Ave., Trenton, NJ 08638.

TerraCycle has agreements with companies to recycle other types of packaging, such as yogurt cups, energy bar wrappers and drink pouches. Learn more about the company's efforts here. And click here to read more Thrifty Green Thursday tips.

Terra Cycle is awesome, I love that website. I have always saved my corks thinking that Cody and I would make a cork board sometime, but they're just sitting in a tin somewhere.

Great tip! I think I saw something about them on the Sundance Chanel.
