Annual Recycling Poster Contest

21th Annual Recycling Poster Contest

In the spring of 2025, Stanislaus County Department of Environmental Resources sponsored the 21st Annual Recycling Poster Contest for Kindergarten through eighth grade students within the county. The winning posters will be highlighted in the 2026 Stanislaus County Recycling Awareness calendar that celebrates each child’s creativity and unique talents while communicating their concern for our environment.

An awards presentation was held on May 20, 2025 during the Board of Supervisor’s meeting. It was very exciting to have each winner honored for their achievements and presented with their awards in front an audience of so many family members, friends and teachers!
