TSW RECYCLING PROGRAM: Dont't forget, the TSW staff and students have partnered with NexTrex to start a recycling program.  “When we donate our plastic film to Trex, we are helping to keep thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills and providing Trex with the supplies they need to make eco-friendly outdoor products.”  Look for posters around campus on what is acceptable to donate. Some examples are grocery bags, bread & ice bags, ziploc bags, bubble wrap, newspaper sleeves and dry cleaning bags.  Designated Trex boxes are in the administration building by the attendance window for you to drop off your donations.  If we collect more than 500 pounds of plastic refuse in a 6 month span (about 40,500 plastic bags), Trex will donate a high-performance composite bench to our school.  Winners will be announced on Earth Day Friday, April 22, 2022 , so start collecting!
