After 16 years of empowering school communities to recycle and reduce waste - leading to more than 1 billion packages being recycled - PepsiCo will be concluding the Recycle Rally K-12 program at the end of this school year on July 31, 2026.
We encourage you to download any resources, lesson plans, or materials from the resource library that you would like to keep beyond July 31, as they will no longer be accessible online after the program closes.
Please note the following key dates as the program winds down:
• Last day to report recycling activity: June 12, 2026
• Last day to redeem reward points: July 31, 2026
• Program and online resource library closure: July 31, 2026
Thank you for being part of the Recycle Rally community. Your school's participation has helped inspire recycling and environmental stewardship among students and communities for more than a decade, creating an impact that extends well beyond this program.
If you have questions or need assistance with redeeming your points before the deadline, please contact us at support@pepsicorecycling.com through 7/31/26.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET INVOLVED?
"Recycle Rally is a super-easy way to track and encourage recycling at any school! The program is easy to implement, full of rewards for everyone involved and has great ideas to help keep the momentum going."
"The entire process is very "teacher-friendly" and does not add to our already busy workload."
"It is a great program for motivating students to recycle and there are plenty of cash incentives for getting schools involved in the process. It is also very easy to document how much recycling your school does for each activity."
"It's easy to do, helps the environment and provides opportunity for small rewards. In reality, it can be as large and involved as you want or as small and timeless as your needs may be."
"An awesome way to encourage students to recycle by building in competition and incentives."
"This program allows me to show the school environment as well as the community the importance of recycling. The (special access) website is great for visual learners and even non-readers in the life skills classroom."
"Recycle Rally gives many kids a leadership role and helps build their self esteem."
"Our school has learned and earned a lot from this program!"
