It’s time for Good Neighbors to Geaux Green! Fifth-grade students at participating West Monroe elementary schools and sixth-grade students at participating Monroe elementary schools are competing in the Geaux Green Recycling Contest, and the entire community is invited to help them win!

The contest is designed to teach an important lesson: Don’t litter—and take the next step by recycling! Students are collecting #1 plastic drinking bottles and turning something that could become litter into something that can be recycled.

All #1 plastic drinking bottles are accepted. Bottles should be empty, clean, and dry. Please do not smash the bottles. Leave them intact so they can be collected and measured properly.
