Bag Up Manitoba

Since the fall of 2008, elementary schools in Manitoba have collected nearly SIX MILLION plastic bags for recycling into  Frisbees, bird houses, planter boxes and benches for their schools. 

This October,  Athlone School is once again participating in Bag Up Manitoba. The Green Hearts Club will be collecting and counting plastic bags all through the month of October. You can bring in the following types of bags:

 

grocery bags
retail bags
newspaper sleeves
produce bags
bread bags
ice bags
bubble wrap
case over wrap
pellet bags
salt bags
dry cleaning bags
re-sealable food bags
cereal bags

We ask that the bags be clean and free of any garbage. You can find more information at www.takepride.mb.ca.
