Calling all K-12 teachers!

Historically, Maine Recycles Week(MRW) hosted an art contest to help Maine students reflect on recycling and waste management. Throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, this art contest ran yearly statewide. We are proud to share that the contest is back up and running thanks to our steering committee.

Let’s empower the next generation of environmental leaders!
