Anoka County 4-H landfill to landscape: Plastic challenge

We did it again! We reached our goal of collecting 1000 pounds in under 12 months and we are ready to do it again! Our new challenge kicked off on June 19, 2024. The 4-H Clover Dash committee will be collecting plastic to hopefully have a bench to auction off in April 2025. Check back for updates on how we are doing.

Are you tired of all the plastic that we use and then just throw away? Many of us know all about recycling our plastic bottles and containers, but what about all of the plastic that surrounds the items we buy? 

Trex uses all those plastic items to create durable items. Let's make a difference in our world by recycling these items instead of just throwing them away. If our county can collect 1000 pounds in 12 months we will get a bench made from recycled plastic from Trex!

The bench from our first round will be on the Anoka County fairgrounds outside of the poultry/rabbit barn. Our second round bench will be at a park in East Bethel.
