Welia Health is now a participant of the Trex Recycling program for all locations, Pine City, Hinckley, and Mora!
What is Trex Recycling?
Trex invented composite decking and has since led the industry in innovation and manufacturing of wood-alternative decking products, making their mission to be environmentally responsible.
Trex has a win-win-win situation: “When you donate your unwanted plastic materials to Trex, not only are you helping to keep thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills, you’re also helping us to continue to create beautiful and environmentally responsible outdoor products.”
Why recycle through Trex?
Trex takes plastic that is often thrown out – plastic wrap from food, plastic from packaging, produce bags, store bags, Ziploc, bubble wrap, etc. and recycles it into composite products. All we have to do is bag it up and send it! Plus, each Welia Health location is eligible to receive a free composite bench every six months if we reach the goal of 500 pounds of plastic recycled!
What can we recycle?
We can bring in clean, dry plastic recyclables from home and recycle plastic we go through at work:
When does this start?
Pine City and Hinckley have already been recycling plastic (Pine City has reached their goal in just four months and has a bench on the way!). Mora begins today, April 1st!
Where can I find Trex recycling bins?
Mora: cafeteria, materials management hallway, clinic break room, med/surg charge nurse computer*See pictures below
Pine City: employee entrance entryway
Hinckley: main entrance vestibule
