Description

WALLS OF TERRACYCLE
---
All I can say is: Check out TERRACYCLE (Trenton, NJ) on the internet...PLEASE!
-----
TerraCycle collects and converts unrecyclable waste into a wide variety of products and materials. With more than 20 million people collecting waste in over 20 countries TerraCycle has diverted billions of units of waste and used them to create over 1,500 different products available at major retailers ranging from Walmart to Whole Foods Market.
------
TerraCycle ALSO enjoys a strong graffiti culture. From annual graffiti jams to the daily repainting of our walls. Graffiti in fact is a form of waste as people typically pay to remove it and TerraCycle embraces all forms of waste!

More info:
-----
Hundreds of graffiti artists from all over the world have painted TerraCycle’s offices from Brazil to the US. They are welcome at any time.
-----
Founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, then a 20-year-old Princeton University freshman, TerraCycle began by producing organic fertilizer, packaging liquid worm poop in used soda bottles. Since then TerraCycle has grown into one of the fastest-growing green companies in the world.
----
We visited this place, located in a bleak industrial area in Trenton, New Jersey, and spent several hours exploring its walls and interior space. UnbeLIEVABLE stuff--all constructed from WASTE! Their PR (young) man talked to us for about an hour about the company.
---
Please go to their website. Oh..and they have LOTS of summer intern jobs available and also full-time positions.
If I was a young carefree person, I would LOVE to work there. #1458731

Absolutely love this shot Michelle. It's truly amazing to see some of the talent that is out there and unfortunately due to their social background will never be discovered. #10110850
