Background:
The City of Manteca Waste Management Division hosted the 2nd annual recycling art contest in the fall of 2026 where a call for Manteca students from K-8th grade from all Manteca schools were asked to submit a drawing with a recycling theme. Waste Management staff promoted this contest by sending flyers via bill inserts, promoting on social media, and by tabling at various back-to-school events and community events. Waste Management received a total of 319 creative art pieces submitted by talented students of Manteca. Voting took place online via a form where Manteca residents were asked to vote for their favorite artwork pieces for 3 grade categories.
The top 12 winners, 4 from each grade category, will have their art placed in Waste Management Division’s 2027 calendar that will be sent out to all Manteca residents. In addition, all the winner’s artwork will also be placed on the side of one of the City’s garbage trucks. The student’s artwork promotes recycling and sustainability aligning with Waste Management Division’s recycling and waste reduction programs where the goal is to keep a clean, sustainable Manteca that the next generation can continue to enjoy. Winners will be honored at the November 17th City Council meeting where they will be a part of the proclamation given for America Recycles Day. The Waste Management Division hopes to keep this contest an annual tradition for the community to enjoy and for students to have an opportunity to be creative and voice their opinion.
Members of the City of Manteca Public Works Services – Waste Management Division will be present to accept this Proclamation....
