Plastic Film Recycling Drive

Earth Day: April 21st and 22nd 

 

We have the chance to keep plastic film out of landfills!

 

You’re invited to bring plastic film (ziptop bags, grocery bags, bubble wrap, and lots more) to school on April 21st and 22nd and Ridwell will make sure it stays out of landfills. Start collecting plastic film now so you have a bunch to bring during the drive.

 

This info sheet explains what plastic film is and why it’s hard to recycle, and this video shows a ton of examples.

 

All the plastic film we collect during the drive will be turned into Trex decking!

 

Curious about Ridwell at-home recycling pickup? They collect hundreds of common household items you can’t recycle curbside, like plastic food packaging, lightbulbs, clothes, Styrofoam, and more.  Find out more here!
