Biscuit wrapper recycling competition
Sussex Green Living is competing in the UK wide Biscuit Wrapper Recycling competition, the beneficiary being the William Penn Primary School in Coolham. This competition is to see who can save the most used sweet biscuit wrappers (and brand) from landfill. At the time of writing this blog we were 18th in the UK. With a final push over the next 3 weeks we could be in with a chance of winning anything between £250 – £20 for the school, plus save all those biscuit wrappers from landfill.
Recycled biscuit wrappers can be put in the special recycling bin in the playground at the William Penn Primary School in Coolham.
This is how the £1000 prize money will be divided:
The twenty locations with the highest collections on the McVitie’s Biscuit Wrapper Brigade during the contest will win prizes as follows:
The Grand Prize Winner will be awarded 25,000 TerraCycle points in their TerraCycle account, redeemable for a £250 contribution to the school or charity of their choice. In addition, the winning location will be given a McVitie’s hamper full of biscuits!
The First Runner Up will be awarded 15,000 points in their TerraCycle account, redeemable for a £150 contribution to the school or charity of their choice and a McVitie’s hamper.
The Third to Tenth placed winners will each be awarded 5,000 points in their TerraCycle account, redeemable for a £50 contribution to the school or charity of their choice.
The Eleventh to Twentieth placed winners will be awarded 2,000 points in their TerraCycle account, redeemable for a £20 contribution to the school or charity of their choice.
