19th Annual Recycling Poster Contest

In the spring of 2023, Stanislaus County Department of Environmental Resources sponsored the 19th Annual Recycling Poster Contest for Kindergarten through eighth grade students within the county. The winning posters will be highlighted in the 2024 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 16, 2023 during the Board of Supervisor’s meeting. It was very exciting to have each winner honored for their achievement and presented with their awards in front an audience of so many family members, friends and teachers!
