We Think Green
My Earth
Thank you to all of the schools that were a part of our contest.

Our goal is to teach the students the importance of recycling. During this contest schools collected over 6,500 bins, this is equivalent to over 5 million plastic shopping bags! These bags were collected from March 10 through April 13, 2010.

Just imagine how many bags your school could save each year. Plastic and paper bags can be dropped off at your local Harris Teeter, recycle bins are located in the entrance way of our stores.

Help us do our part in saving the environment. Encourage your students to continue to recycle their bags at home.

Recycle Facts: Our recycle plastic is picked up by a company called Trex®, the largest plastic recycler in the United States. Trex (Trex® is the leading brand of alternative decking, railing, fencing, and trim products designed to maximize your outdoor living experience), Trex® is made from about 50 percent recycled and reclaimed plastic, and 50 percent reclaimed wood. These materials would otherwise go unused in landfills .They collect over 1.5 billion plastic bags from retailers each year.
