Plastic bag recycling collection efforts are back in observance of Energy Action Month!
Once again, NASA Langley is working with the York/Poquoson Master Gardeners to recycle plastic bags and film packaging, potentially for a composite bench to be placed in a local school or learning garden.
You can drop off your clean, dry, empty plastic bag and plastic film materials in the designated collection boxes in the hallway of IESB from October 11th through the 21st. The following materials can be collected for recycling in the boxes:
Please make sure the plastic bag and film materials that you are recycling are dry and do not have food waste in them. Additionally, plastic bottles and cups should be recycled in their appropriate bin. This collection is for plastic bags and film only.
In the spring, you helped NASA Langley collect 169 pounds of plastic material (estimated to be about 14,500 plastic bags!!) for recycling. All plastic material was donated to the Master Gardeners and a composite bench was placed in the Poquoson Learning Garden. Stay tuned after the collection is over for updates on how much LaRC recycled this time!
