½ Ton Collected in Six Months

Moscow, Idaho, May 31, 2019 - Moscow Charter School has been collecting 10 types of film plastic this year. The interest and energy from the community--Pullman to Troy-- has been overwhelming. With 1201 pounds collected, our school won second place in the Trex School Competition. We were only 51 pounds behind the top school in the Pacific Northwest of similar size.

Take the plastic film to the participating Trex corporate partners Winco and Safeway grocery stores in Moscow during the summer. The drop off locations are behind the stores. Donate only clean and dry plastic film from this list: produce bread bags, grocery bags, cereal box liners, ice bags, ziploc bags, case overwrap, newspaper sleeves, dry cleaning bags, and bubble wrap.

At the start of the 2019-2020 school year, MCS will again participate in the competition to collect plastic film. This competition raises awareness of simple things each person can do to take care of our planet and keep plastic material out of the landfill.
