Plastic Film Outreach Day - Cochran's Crossing Kroger

Did you know? Although plastic bags and film cannot go in your recycling cart, they can be recycled at participating locations in The Woodlands, including H-E-B and Kroger. Any plastic bag or film that is clean, dry, and stretchy can go back to the store for proper recycling.
What happens next? Each year, tons of plastic film are turned into composite lumber – a plasticized material used in park benches, picnic tables, decks, fences, and playground equipment. This material is commonly used in our parks and pedestrian bridges.
