30 Years of Recycling & the Rethink Waste Challenge
2020 marks the 30th year of recycling in Madison County. To celebrate, the Dept. of Solid Waste is hosting a ’Rethink Waste Challenge’ for K-12 students. Students are asked to submit one of two projects: a video related to rethinking waste at home/school or a piece of artwork using mostly recyclable items. Students can enter as an individual or as part of a group. The competition runs through April 3rd, 2020. Winners will be announced on Earth Day, April 22nd. For more details and how to enter, click here.
Program Changes as of April 2019
The Madison County Department of Solid Waste launched a new recycling campaign, 'Rethink Waste in Madison County.' The campaign includes new user friendly materials such as guides, magnets and a new search tool to highlight the current recycling program. To download the new resources, click here.
