We Think Green
My EarthHarris Teeter THINKS GREEN.... And we want your school to THINK GREEN during the HT Together in Education “We Think Green” Contest. Collect plastic shopping bags from September 30th through November 10th for a chance to win up to $1,000 cash for your school.

Help us encourage kids to keep on recycling, we can all make a difference. Don’t forget any plastic or paper bags that your school collects can always be dropped off at your local Harris Teeter.





School Recycling Program Details:
  • Bags from any store will be included in this program, not restricted to Harris Teeter shopping bags. Items that will NOT qualify are items such as bubble wrap, shrink wrap and other industrial plastics.
  • You must use a 30 gallon bag to collect your individual bags in. Every 30 gallon bag that your school fills will equal 1 bin.
  • Your school should select one (1) Harris Teeter store for the bag drop off; this will be the ONLY store your school will use for the entire length of the program.
  • Harris Teeter stores will keep a bag log for each school. The store will submit the submission forms at the end of the contest.
At the end of the contest, the Top 5 schools that collected the most plastic bags from each of our 3 regions will win. There will a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th prize winner. Prizes are valued at:
  • 1st place - $1,000
  • 2nd place - $500
  • 3rd place - $250
  • 4th place - $250
  • 5th place - $250
Deadline for submissions is November 10, 2009; all qualifying submissions need to be turned in by November 10, 2009. Be sure to read our Contest Rules for eligibility, region breakdown, and other important contest elements. You can e-mail tie@harristeeter.com with any questions about this program.

*Plastic bags can be made into dozens of useful new products, such as building and construction products, low-maintenance fencing and decking, and of course, new bags. In recent years, many grocers and retailers have introduced plastic bag collection programs. Consumers should look for a collection bin, usually located at the front of the store. The number of municipal drop-off centers and curbside programs to recycle plastic bags is increasing also. Visit the plasticbagrecycling.org website to learn more.
