Earth Day Recycle Challenge

Take the Earth Day Recycle Challenge

Each year, the Kent County Board of Public Works invites all Kindergarten through grade 5 schools in Kent County to participate in the Earth Day Recycle Challenge to promote an awareness for Earth Day (celebrated April 22nd each year) and to encourage recycling at an early age. Schools are challenged to collect a specific item for recycling, and awards are given out to the top performing schools based on a per student average of the collected item. In 2008, participating schools were challenged to collect at least 15 plastic grocery bags per student. Past Recycle Challenge collected items have included plastic milk jugs and telephone books. Winners will be posted here!
