4th Annual Fun Recycling Art Sculpture Contest

Location: Universalist Church,
Corner of
Montgomery &
Remington Roads,
Montgomery, Ohio
The City of Montgomery and its Environmental Advisory Commission is committed to educating residents about the importance of recycling. This contest is a means of encouraging recycling by purchasing items made from or packaged in recyclable materials. The Montgomery recycling contest was initiated to give people an opportunity to use their creativity to develop a sculpture that not only educates those who see it about the value of recyclable materials, but also allows them to receive a prize for their creativeness.
To enter the competition, pick up an entry form at City Hall. You may also request a brochure by mail, by calling (513) 891-2424 or download a copy from our website.
