Be a Zero Hero: Recycle That Plastic

It’s true that heroes don’t typically know they’re heroes. But it’s also true that you can set an example for others and change the world with actions that might seem small and insignificant. By recycling your plastic bags and packaging, you’ll contribute to a world with fewer plastics and less waste. You'll be a Zero Hero, and we think that's worthy of wearing a cape!

​

How Can YOU Be a Zero Hero?

A Zero Hero is someone who steps up for change when it comes to reducing waste. Even small changes that require little effort can make you a Zero Hero! Here’s one way to become a Zero Hero: In addition to your local curbside or container recycling for items like aluminum cans, plastic water bottles, cardboard and paper, set up a separate recycling bin for plastic packaging in your home. Collect these once-discarded items over time and, when the bin is full, place it in the drop-off bin at one of our stores on your next shopping trip. You can also now recycle flexible plastic packaging from our store brands through our TerraCycle program – it’s FREE and easy! And be sure to check out many more ways to become a Zero Hero.

First Christian makes it even easier! You will find a recycle bin in the entry way of the church where you can drop off acceptable Kroger/Private Select/Simple Truth plastic packaging.
