\u201cOne man\u2019s trash is another man\u2019s treasure,\u201d the saying goes. And RethinkWaste\u2019s 2023 Art with Trash contest is now open, where students in grades 3-5 can create a work of art using materials that would otherwise have been thrown away or recycled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each school year, RethinkWaste hosts the Spring Trash Art Contest, which is designed for students who attend schools located in the public waste management agency's service area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this end, students eligible to participate must be attending an elementary school in Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San Mateo, and unincorporated parts of San Mateo County and the West Bay Sanitary District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year there are two categories: Group Category for classes from 3rd to 5th grade and Individual Category for students from 3rd to 5th grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
