Coloring Calendar Contest
We need the help of our Boone County youth to encourage people to stop littering.
We need students from Kindergarten to 5th grade to create artwork or a slogan that
will educate people about the effects of littering. The contest starts on September
12th and ends October 28th. The winners will be able to attend a Fiscal
Court meeting and receive cool prizes. For more information call 859-334-3629 or

and throughout the county. For more information call 859-334-3629. We all can make
a difference!
Trashy Talk at Schools
As classes start up this fall, keep in mind the Boone County Solid Waste Department
is more than willing to speak to the students in your area about anything from recycling
soda cans, reusing soda bottles to cleaning up litter. Whatever you’re wondering,
we can discuss it and we love audiences of all kinds from public and private school
patrons to adult clubs, scouting troops, or conference groups. Please contact us
for a free presentation!
