To celebrate America Recycles Day (November 15th), the Division of Solid Waste Management continued its "America Recycles Day Art Challenge", designed for K-12 students in Dutchess County. The goal of the project was to educate young people on recycling practices while also having them reimagine materials they would otherwise throw away. Materials for each project were collected by the student, bringing attention to how much waste accumulates daily and how much can be recycled or reused.
