How does it work?  I've seen it on some packaging but never understood what to do with it.

    What do you mean what to do with it? you mean when you're done with it? As far as I know, the fritolay bags were not recyclable because of the batting and multiple layers of plasticized bags.

    Interesting - I've never heard of that.  I wonder where they get their 'raw' materials.  Doesn't do a lot of good if they're not really used or the misprinted.  Hmm...

    The Humane Society here (that we used to volunteer with) used to collect 20 oz soda bottles to send to terracycle.  I think we got 1 cent for each bottle?  It was so successful a program that terracycle had to discontinue or at least pause it because they got SO MANY bottles from different charitable causes that they didn't have anything to do with what they DID have. 

    Who was it taht was trying to do a recycling drive?  Finding a charitable organization for the neighborhood to support through terracycle might be a good way to spur interest?

    Wow - where do you go to find out what they need/will take, etc?  Now I'm curious!

     It actually does make a difference if they're using the misprinted ones because they'd have thrown them away....So it is saving it from a landfill or incinerator.

    Oh - I agree - I didn't word it the best, but I just meant it wasn't helpful if it was unused but was useable for consumption.  :)
