Team Plastic Film and Food Wrapper Recycling Raffle

Please help the host teams reduce landfill waste this weekend by recycling any plastic film and food wrapper waste into the SHOE BOX provided.

  1. FILL UP the shoebox with Plastic Film and Bar Wrappers 

  2. BRING FULL BOX to the Lashutka Building.  

    • We will empty it, give you a raffle ticket. 

  3. TAKE THE BOX BACK to keep filling up.

    EVERY TIME YOU BRING A FULL BOX = 1 RAFFLE TICKET

Haxton Prize: $100 off 2024 Blake Haxton Fall Regatta Registration

Speakmon Prize: $100 off 2024 Jack Speakmon Memorial Regatta Registration and ONE Speakmon Regatta Poster!

Teams that attend both regattas are eligible to participate in both raffles, but tickets earned Saturday will NOT be accepted for Sunday’s raffle. New day of recycling = new chance at winning!

This recycling program is supported by SWACO, through their Community Waste Reduction Grant program, awarded to the Greater Columbus Rowing Association (GCRA).

Plastic film is commonly accepted at local grocery stores for recycling, but types of materials accepted differ between the stores.  For today, please help us with any case overwrap (Gatorade or water bottle case coverings), bread bags, grocery bags, resealable food storage bags (ziplock “single-use” kind), produce bags, AND even plastic wrap used for wrapping riggers and boat parts! Does the package stretch when you pull it? If yes, then recycle it. If it crinkles or tears like paper, then please don't put it in the bin.
