TREX RECYCLING CHALLENGE Last year the district collected over 7,000 pounds of plastic, WOW! For the second year, all Hillsboro schools & support buildings are participating in the TREX Film Plastic Recycling Challenge, which runs through April 22, 2018. Students, staff, family, and friends and invited to bring in plastic bags and plastic wrap to a designated bin. Each bag collected will be weighed and recorded monthly until the competition’s end. After the materials are turned in, TREX will transform them into composite lumber, saving the plastic from adding to the landfill or clogging up sorting machines at the recycling center. The winning schools/site—which will be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2018—will receive a TREX bench.
