NEX TREX Recycling Program has Ended! As some of you know, three local organizations, Pittsfield Elementary School PTO/Victory Workers 4H/South Pittsfield Community Club, have been participating in the NexTrex Recycling Program for the last year and a half. During this time, the community has helped recycle over 3000lbs of the “non-recyclable” plastic(grocery bags, shrink wrap, etc). Each organization earned a Trex built bench. We would like to thank the community for their support of this challenge and working to keep the environment clean. Unfortunately, the program has made significant changes to the rewards program. Due to the amount of time this program takes, collecting the plastic, weighing the plastic, taking pictures of said collection and weight, it has become task where the time and labor have become too much. The bins have been removed from the collection sites. Please do not drop off any plastic to the locations, they are not responsible for this program. Again, over 3000lbs collected, THANK YOU!!!
