Do you know that 7 trillion plastic bags are used every year worldwide? Thanks to efforts by our sixth graders and our amazing science teachers, we can help ensure plastic bags and other film don’t end up in the environment by joining the Eckstein Plastic Film Drive.

Eckstein is keeping Plastic Film from landfills with Ridwell this spring!
As part of this limited-time drive, you can bring these types of Plastic Film to school from April 15 – May 23rd and Ridwell will make sure they stay out of landfills and are turned into new decking materials instead! Start collecting these items at home now. Collections will take place in the main office and in the bins marked in the science hallway.

You can also help Eckstein recycle our school’s Plastic Film for the entire ‘24/’25 school year! join Ridwell with an at-home membership by May 31st, 2024. If we sign up 10 or more new members by this date, we will be awarded monthly Plastic Film pickups for our school next year! If you’ve been thinking about subscribing to Ridwell, this is a great opportunity to double your environmental impact! Also, we could use a few extra volunteers to help with this drive in the coming weeks. If you are interested in helping out, please contact jclevine@seattleschools.org.
