During October of 2011...students in Marion County were preparing their entries for the annual Recycle Art Calendar Contest. The students were encouraged to think critically about waste reduction, reuse, and why it is important to recycle.

Hundreds of entries were received from students all across Marion County! Fourteen students received awards of U.S. Savings Bonds valued from $100 to $200 in several grade categories. Students with winning entries were also awarded certificates that were presented to them by the Marion County Board of Commissioners, Mid-Valley Garbage and Recycling Association (MVGRA), Salem-Keizer School District, and Marion County Public Works – Environmental Services (MCPWES) at a televised ceremony in December.

MCPWES and the eight garbage and recycling companies of MVGRA provide ongoing recycling awareness and education by offering presentations, classes, recycling demonstrations, and free learning materials to the community. If you are interested in learning more about recycling and the conservation of our natural resources, contact Mid-Valley Garbage & Recycling Association at (503) 390-4000 or Marion County Public Works - Environmental Services at (503) 588-5169. Protect our air and water - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

This art calendar was coordinated and developed by MCPWES staff Sarah Keirns, Waste Reduction Coordinator; Kelley Cary, Salem-Keizer School District Recycling Coordinator; and Mary Kanz, Executive Director of MVGRA.
