Elmer’s Glue Sticks and Bottle Recycling Program & Giveaway

April 22, 2009 By: Anna248 Comments

GlueCrew Logo

See Update below:  12/21/2010:  TerraCycle is now collecting glue bottles and sticks as part of their brigade program.

Check out the giveaway below!

If you have kids, you have Elmer’s glue in the form of glue sticks or glue bottle.  My kids are notorious for leaving off the glue stick caps or using way too much glues from the glue bottles.  I can’t recycle either the glue bottles or sticks.  (Even though the glue bottles are a #1 or #2, my area only collects #1 or #2 plastic soda bottles.)

For those who are uber-recyclers, Elmer has teamed up with Walmart and TerraCycle to take back those bottle and sticks!   Elmer’s Although the program is geared towards teachers, encourage a teacher at your school to sign up.  Then, offer to take care of the recycling part for the teacher. It is easy! For instructions on how to belong to the Teachers can join the Elmer’s Glue Crew Recycling Program. See here.  The program contains resources and contests to win prizes in addition to information on how to return recycled glue sticks and bottles to the Company.

However, teachers are not the only ones who can get into the excitement of collecting. You can volunteer to help your art teacher or collect them on your own by signing up to partipate in the Elmer Glue-TerraCycle Bridgade.  Here is what you have to do:

Make sure the bottles and glue sticks are cleaned out before putting them in a box. Once the box is full, attach the return label and take it to one of the people greeters at Walmart between April 22, 2009 2011 and the end of school.  (See the instructions, here.)

Alternatively, you can sign up for the TerraCycle bridgade and send them your glue bottles and sticks.  The Company pays your designated charity 2 cents per item sent.

Once you have signed up, you are in the program forever.  You don’t need to re-register each new school year. I will be asking my art teachers if they will sign up and perhaps have a central location for collection.

So, what happens to the glue sticks and bottles once recycled?  The recycled bottles and glue sticks are made into garden equipment, packaging and even park benches. (See here on the recycling process.)

elmer glue back pack

To get the glue stick rolling here in honor of Earth Day, Elmer is giving away a gift pack of a supply of elmer’s glue in a small backpack  to five lucky Green Talk reader. (See picture above.  A $50 retail value of glue!)  Many of you might be thinking why I would be giving away a plastic giveaway.  For the simple reason, that I want you to know about this recycling effort. Less trash in the landfills is a good thing.  So, if you want to enter, here are the rules.

  • You must be over 18 and live in the US or Canada.
  • Leave me a comment here telling me about your favorite art project as a kid or adult.  If you don’t have one, just say so.
  • To double your chances consider joining my Feedburner email list or subscribe to my RSS feed. Both subscriptions are listed on the upper right hand column. Be sure to come back and leave a separate additional comment to tell me which one you joined. If you are already a member, just say so.
  • To triple  your chances of winning, twitter about this contest and come back and leave a separate additional comment of the url (weblink) of your twitter comment.
  • You must enter by May 1, 2009  6 PM EST time to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Monday, May 4, 2009.  This is a short contest! Good Luck everyone!

    I made my favorite art project last year. I watered down white glue and used it to decopage pages from old thrift store books on the walls of my powder room as wallpaper. Then I used old teabags and coffee grounds to stain the book pages and coated everything with clear glaze to project it. Looks great and saved a lot of things from the landfill.

    My favourite art project is one I did as an adult!

    I was having a hard time with depression and suddenly started making wonderful realizations about myself, my life, and God.

    I expressed this in a piece I made. (I used a lot of glue from glue sticks)!! I portrayed my journey from a place of darkness (depression) to that of light on a piece of cardboard. I used dark, knotty wool on the bottom and gradually lightened it up (with wool, feathers and beads) until a beautiful rainbow covered the top.

    It was beautiful and meant so much to me!

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    my favorite school project was to make buildings using just stuff lying around the house… old cardboard, plastic, etc… We came up with some very awesome buildings including a bookstore, firehouse (complete with sliding door, windows with #6 plastic, an antenna made from stripping a twisty…) My daughter still has all of them on display in her room after 8 years. We’ve kept almost all of the projects the kids did, but they are all in boxes except those…

    One of my favorite projects is to make small boxes from greeting cards. It recycles those cards that we all receive, but most of us don’t save them. This project also teaches math to students. All it requires is a greeting card or a file folder. A ruler or popsicle stick makes a good scoring tool, which you need because the paper is thick. My fourth, fifth, and sixth graders love this project!

    If you go to raft.net you can search for an download the pdf file with directions. R.A.F.T. stands for Resource Area for Teachers and is a non-profit organization benefitting students and schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. I don’t work there, I’m just a happy teacher.

    Follow this link and search for “folder boxes”. Have fun!

    Our son wanted a train set so badly one year for Christmas and the money just was not there to buy one. My husband and I felt so bad as it was the only thing he had asked for and he believed that if he believed hard enough in Santa he would get one. My husband and I decided to build one for him. Every night after work when our son was asleep we would work on the train set. We spent hours and weeks carefully trying to make a train villiage, train set itself and even a conductor and passengers. We used popsicle sticks by cutting them in half and using whole (I think we cut our fingers almost as much as we cut the sticks!) and made an entire village. We then painted each piece and used pieces of tree branches for trees and made leaves and and tree tops out of play doh. The train was made out of wood but we took wheels from some of our son’s old cars so the train would move. We even made passengers from wood. We took a little whistle and put a string on it and put it on the train so the train would have its whistle. On Christmas morning my son went to the Christmas tree and found his train all set up. With tears in his eyes he looked at us and said “I just knew Santa would bring me my train! He played with that train for years and when he was a little too old for it he carefully put it on his shelf. Of all the toys throughout the Christmases he still says that the train set was the best gift he ever received!

    My favorite art project as a kid was making Christmas ornaments. We made all different kinds. Some of them would be as simple as drawing a star with glue on construction paper and putting glitter on it to define it or as complex as making little houses out of toothpicks glued together. Toothpicks are not the easiest to work with when you have little hands! My mom still puts them on the tree every year and I love just looking at them and having pleasant memories of a simpler time. Thanks!

    In Jr High I had the grand illusion that I’d be a great sculptor. I had a special project in art class to create a bust, and spent a ton of time on it. What I found was that it wasn’t easy for me. But it is my most memorable project.

    My favorite project was cutting out pieces of colored paper into made up “flowers” and gluing them onto a background, at school, and one could be sent in to be on television. I noticed that all the kids were using smaller, horizontal pieces of paper, so I chose a larger piece of paper and did it horizontally! My flower was chosen to send in to TV!
    The teacher placed us all around a TV set to watch the show, and mine didn’t come up and didn’t come up and I thought it wouldn’t, and then at the very end the teacher put it up on the easel all by itself (!) while talking about the end of the show and it stayed on during the ending credits (as if it were the best one)! I was SO happy, and later in life did a LOT of gluing since I started showing collages professionally!

I wish I still had some of my old craft projects from back then. Good post, I have a friend that I am going to pass this along to thats going to love this! Looking forward to your upcoming posts.
