The Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District is dedicated to promoting recycling, waste reduction and responsible waste management within Hendricks County. One of the most important ways the District carries out this mission is through education. Whether passing out information and resources or providing school programs for children, District staff members are always eager to ‘talk trash’ with community residents and encourage them to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Representatives from the Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District have been fortunate to meet many individuals in the community that share the same values and goals as the District. These individuals come from many different backgrounds and organizations. Examples include teachers who reuse household items for lesson plans to employees of local businesses who spearhead work recycling programs. Whether it is part of their job or a personal commitment, the Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District wants to recognize and applaud community members for the hard work they have done providing environmental education and promoting responsible waste management in the Hendricks County community.

This year the District has developed an Environmental Education Award to recognize those individuals whose work in the community furthers the District’s mission. The District is now accepting nominations for the first annual Environmental Education Award. Nomination forms are available at the District’s website HendricksSolidWaste.com).  The forms should be completed and returned no later than October 31^st, 2010. The selected recipient will be presented with the award at the District’s Board Meeting on December 21, 2010.
