Sustainable celebrants kicked off spooky season at Loggerhead Marinelife Center during the third annual HallowMarine celebration on October 19.
The celebration also unveiled Unwrap the Waves, Loggerhead’s month-long candy wrapper recycling program. Now through November 11, Unwrap the Waves welcomes the community to collect and recycle candy wrappers. The initiative not only ensures individuals and residents have access to recycling, but raises awareness around the large-scale, single-use waste produced on Halloween.
Individuals can drop off used candy wrappers in the TerraCycle boxes stationed at partnering organizations, businesses, and community buildings to be recycled. Loggerhead will collect and send the wrappers out to be recycled. Candy wrappers can be dropped off at community partner locations through November 11. Last year, a total of 309,000 candy wrappers were collected and recycled.
