Did you know? - Plastic bags can't be recycled in home recycling bins? When plastic bags end up in your at-home recyclables, it can cause contamination leading your true recyclables to go to the landfill- But they CAN be recycled at your local H-E-B ! This November we are excited to work with H-E-B in celebration of Texas Recycles Day, offering FREE admission to our park when you bring a plastic bottle or bag to recycle.✨🌿♻ Keep an eye out for other upcoming programming opportunities to learn more about how you can protect Our Texas, Our Future. #mcallenevents #HEBHelpingHere #texasrecyclesday #refest2025
