NexTrex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge

Let's Recycle Together!

Exciting News! We've Completed the NexTrex Challenge Twice!

Thanks to our community and Middle Island Civic, we collected 1,600 pounds of soft plastics and earned two benches. By popular demand, we're signing up for a third time! Celebrate with us and see how these benches will benefit our community spaces. Let's keep making a difference together!

For the third challenge, if our community can collect 1000 pounds of soft plastic refuse in a year, we will earn another high-performance composite bench. Place all plastic refuse in the designated box in the library. All items must be clean, dry, and free of food residue.

Accepted items include:
• Bread bags
• Produce bags
• Newspaper sleeves
• Salt and ice bags
• Grocery bags
• Case overwrap
• Bubble wrap
• Wood pellet bags
• Plastic shipping envelopes
• Dry cleaning bags
• Ziploc and other reclosable food storage bags
