Plastic bag recycling challenge under way at Cache La Poudre Elementary

Cache La Poudre Elementary in LaPorte is looking to win Albertsons gift cards for future CLPE events, so bring your plastic bags for recycling to CLPE until Nov. 11.

The school will take them to Albertsons to be recycled. Please recycle only clean, dry plastic bags. Remove receipts or any other items from bags.
