FOR RELEASE:  March 6, 2023

East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov announced that East Windsor Township, through the Township Clean Communities Committee, is sponsoring a Recycling Poster Contest for all East Windsor Regional School District elementary school students to focus on Earth Day.  The Theme of the poster is to promote any or all of the “4 R’s” of the 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.

            Mayor Mironov stated,  “The Recycling Poster Contest is to encourage young people, especially as we celebrate Earth Day, to focus on the importance of everyone practicing recycling to protect and preserve our environment.  We look forward to our talented students demonstrating, through the posters, their tremendous creativity and true interests in helping green our earth.”

            Student winners from Grades K – 2 and winners from Grades 3 – 5 will receive awards of a Gift Certificate to Barnes and Noble ($75.00, $50.00 and $25.00, respectively, for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place). The awards are being donated by Shiseido America.

            Posters should be left by Thursday, March 30 at the student’s School Administrative Office or the East Windsor Municipal Building Mayor’s Office.  Students should be certain that the back of each poster contains the student’s Name, Address, Phone Number, Grade Level and School Attended.

            Contest winners will be notified and awards, including a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble donated by Shiseido, will be made by Mayor Janice S. Mironov at an Earth Day ceremony.  Winning posters will also be displayed in the municipal building lobby through May.
