City Recycling Poster Contest

The city of Valparaiso launched a poster contest to encourage recycling. The two winners were Ollie Grcich (fourth grade at Central Elementary)valpo-recycling-1 and Allison Skadberg (fifth grade at Northview Elementary). Each winning design will be featured on one of the city's two recycling trucks. The winners were recognized by Mayor Jon Costas and Public Works Director Ron DeTorrice at school on Friday on a beautiful sunny Friday, in front of their peers.

The effort highlights the city's extraordinary recycling efforts -- more than any other Indiana community! The plan is to make the poster contest an annual event, adding designs to other panels on the trucks.

The first photo (with poster overhead!) is Ollie Grcich The others are at Northview -- one of the group surrounding the truck, the other is Allison Skadberg with Mayor Costas and Ron DeTorrice. Congratulations to all!
