Candy Wrapper Recycling Program
Loggerhead Marinelife Center's Unwrap the Wave Initiative allows for students and community members to get into the "spirit" of conservation by collecting their candy wrappers from Halloween and recycling them. The purpose of this initiative is not only to ensure students and community members have a means to recycle their otherwise non-recyclable candy wrappers, but also to raise awareness of the large amount of single-use waste produced from a single holiday.
Fee: Price for participating in 2026 is $300, which covers the cost of the box and materials.
Deadlines for applications: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until October 8th. Boxes will be ordered and shipped directly to you, and ordering will take place upon receiving payment. Collection of wrappers will take place from October 14th - November 14th.
Families, teachers, and community members are welcome to collect and drop off at LMC or at a partner location'.
