TREX Plastic Recycling

The St. Charles Kiwanis Club partners with TREX to collect plastic bags to transform into community benches.

The Club collects plastic every 2nd Tuesday of the month, spring through fall. Check our Club Calendar for specific dates.

Clean, dry plastic can be dropped off at the Baker Memorial Church from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

We have collected, baled, weighed, and delivered over 11 tons of plastic to our retail partners, Jewel East and West in St. Charles and Jewel Elburn. As of 2025 we have placed 24 ecofriendly benches made of plastic with our nonprofit partners.

Working with St. Charles Breakfast Rotary

The St. Charles Breakfast Rotary Club is working hard on recycling Styrofoam. The Rotary Club and our Kiwanis Club have teamed up to collect plastic and Styrofoam at the same event time, on the second Tuesday of each month.

The St. Charles Rotary collects Styrofoam all year round. Check out their calendar here.
