Plastic Recycling

Students in the Adolescent Program are recycling plastic bags and films. Families are encouraged to participate by sending in clean, dry plastic bags. There is a box in the entryway of the school and one in the upstairs hallway.

Trex Recycling turns these bags into decking, keeping hundreds of pounds of waste out of landfills!
