BEAVERCREEK —Beavercreek resident Abby Gilbert recently placed in the top five in the Entenmann’s Little Bites Regional All Stars recycling contest sponsored by Entenmann’s Little Bites and TerraCycle.

Gilbert will receive $25 to donate to the charity of her choice.

Between February and April 2015 contestants had to send used Entenmann’s Little Bites pouches to TerraCycle for recycling. Gilbert sent in almost 1,200 pouches and finished top five in the Midwest region. The collected waste will be recycled into a variety of products such as picnic tables, park benches and trash cans.
