Plastic Recycling Challenge

 

The Environmental Affairs Committee is excited to share that we will be extending the NexTrex Plastic Recycling Challenge to the full 2024-2025 school year. We are thrilled that so many families participated in the last few years and appreciate all the positive feedback and support we received to continue the challenge. On August 21, we will have 3 bins conveniently located in the front lobby for plastic and film recycling. Note: Plastic MUST be clean, dry and free of any food residue. If you have any questions, please feel free to email environmental@harperpto.com.
