McNICHOLS EDUCATIONAL PLAZA WINS NEW GARDEN THROUGH REGIONAL SAVE-WATER PLEDGING CONTEST

Colgate®, ShopRite® and TerraCycle® Partner to Award the School a New Garden Made From Oral Care Waste

SCRANTON, PA, MAY 8, 2019 – McNichols Educational Plaza, a preschool through 5th grade school, won a new garden made from recycled oral care waste through this year’s Save Water Challenge, courtesy of Colgate-Palmolive (“Colgate”), the global oral care leader; ShopRite, which has more than 270 stores in the Northeast; and recycling leader TerraCycle. As a grand prize winner, McNichols Educational Plaza will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the school on May 13, 2019 at 12:30 P.M. The ribbon cutting will unveil a new outdoor garden that includes a gazebo, picnic table and bench that were made using recycled toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and floss containers that were collected through the Colgate® Oral Care Recycling Program. To win the top prize, McNichols Educational Plaza secured 14,529 pledges from people who agreed to turn off the faucet while brushing their teeth. An individual can save up to 8 gallons of water every day by turning off the tap while brushing. The Save Water Challenge launched in July 2018 among schools throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut and Maryland participating in the Colgate® Oral Care Recycling Program, a free recycling program operated by Colgate and TerraCycle. “On behalf of Colgate, I’m pleased to congratulate the students, parents and faculty of McNichols Educational Plaza on winning first place in the 2018 Save Water Challenge,” said Juan Pablo Zamorano, President, North America, Colgate-Palmolive. “The energy and enthusiasm that they put into winning the contest helped spread the word that every drop counts and we all have a part to play in conserving water. We hope the new garden will bring smiles to children in Scranton for many years to come.” A full set of rules for the 2018 Save Water Contest can be viewed: https://www.terracycle.com/enUS/contests/colgateshopritegarden2018.
