East Windsor Recognizes Student Winners Of Earth Day Recycling Poster Contest

EAST WINDSOR, NJ - Mayor Janice S. Mironov recognized the elementary school winners of the East Windsor Township Earth Day Recycling Poster Contest at a recent Council meeting.

The theme of the poster is to promote any or all of the “4 R’s” of the East Windsor Township Recycling Program Logo, which are:

• RECYCLE all items that can be recycled.
• REUSE other items rather than throw them out in the trash.
• REDUCE materials into their homes that then have to be disposed of.
• REBUY i.e., buy goods that use recycled materials.

Winners from Grades K – 2 and Grades 3 – 5 all received Mayoral Certificates of Recognition and donated gift certificates to Barnes and Noble.

The posters designed by the students creatively and colorfully serve to remind everyone of the importance of practicing and promoting recycling to help protect and preserve our environment.
