Cherry Crest is doing our annual Plastic Film Drive. Please start to collect your plastic film at home, more information will be coming in the weeks to come.
What is a plastic film drive?
Plastic film includes grocery bags, zip top bags, Amazon shipping envelopes, and lots more thin, flexible plastic. It can’t be recycled curbside, so millions of tons end up in landfills every year. During the drive, we’ll collect plastic film from the school community to recycle with Ridwell, keeping it out of the landfill.
Why do a plastic film drive?
Participating in a drive helps students feel empowered to make an impact on the planet and helps them become mindful about waste. Plus, Cherry Crest has the chance to earn ongoing plastic film pickups for the entire ‘25/’26 school year. This means our school’s production of plastic film would stay out of landfills and go on to have a new life after Ridwell’s partner turns it into composite decking.
