MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Do you have any extra plastic bags? One local organization will gladly take them off your hands.
Mankato Zero Waste launched its three-city initiative last month, collecting plastic bags in Mankato, North Mankato, and Lake Crystal. The organization is working with the Trex Company, which makes composite decking out of recycled materials. If 500 pounds of plastic are collected in each city within a 6 month period, Trex Company will donate a park bench to be installed in that city.
