Friends of NCRD (North County Recreation District) regrets that we must stop our plastic recycling project until we can recruit more volunteers to bag, weigh, and deliver the plastic to Fred Meyer’s in Tillamook.
Meanwhile, you may not be aware that all Fred Meyer’s and Safeway stores have collection bins for soft film plastic so you will be able to take your small bag of bags there when you shop.
Friends of NCRD started this project in cooperation with the Trex Company several years ago. For each 500 pounds of soft film plastic collected and delivered for recycling, the company provided us, as a non-profit organization, an outdoor bench. To date, we have received and installed 4 benches a at NCRD and we have also earned a fifth bench not yet ordered. Thanks to all who have participated!
