Not sure about here but on the mainland a lot go here.
Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S.
3.1 billion recycled grocery bags were collected for use to manufacture Trex products in 2010.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to recycle our bags on island by having a plant next to PGV that would utilize the waste heat to make decking ??
