The Trex Corporation makes all sorts of products out of recycled plastic.
Currently they have a program for nonprofit organizations who save plastic and
turn it in to the company. The reward is a free bench that will never need painting
and will last for many generations.
By October 30th, St Peter’s needs to collect at least 250 more pounds of plastic wrap to reach the 500 pound collection goal.
The collection container is a large white box located in the Parish House hallway.
You may also bag your plastic and place it in the back pew in the church.
Types of plastics to include are:
1. Plastic grocery/store type bags
2. Shrink wraps
3. Ziplock bags (if they are clean)
4. Bread bags (shake out crumbs)
5. Plastic bubble wrap (deflated)
6. Toilet paper/paper towel overwrap
NO hard plastics (no bottles, straws cups,
etc.
Update – The promotion was extended past Oct. 30 so were still collecting towards the end of 2019.
