Recycled Art Calendar Contest
We are excited to announce another Recycled Art Calendar Contest. Great news, we are going back to the old format of a multi-page art calendar and we are still offering exciting prizes, including $500 to the classroom of the grand prize winner.
This year’s theme will be “Repair & Reuse”. Students are encouraged to consider ways that they can reduce waste and minimize consumption by repairing and reusing items instead of replacing.
This project is sponsored by the Mid-Valley Garbage & Recycling Association and Marion County. To learn more visit: mcrecycles.net

Trash the Buckets
and Nursery Pots
Sometimes we goof. You know how it is. We want to recycle what we can. We want to do the best for the environment. But sometimes the things we think can be recycled simply no longer has a market.
When we put together our massive
all-county mailing of the Waste Matters Tabloid we said nursery pots and buckets could be added to the mixed recycling cart...they cannot.
So please, trash those pesky nursery pots and buckets. It will sure make the lives better for folks who separate your stuff at the material recovery facility.
And please accept our humble apology!
