Trex Plastics Challenge Update
We have collected 943 pounds of plastic film towards our goal of 1000 pounds of plastic film for an eighth recycled bench that is earmarked for the Library. Since February of 2023, 6,085 pounds of plastic film (over 3 tons!) have been removed from the waste stream, delivered to Shaw's Supermarket and heading to Trex Company for recycling.
