Now the winning works of art are on display on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtcsnv.com\/\">RTC<\/a> buses!<\/p>\r\n<p>Did you know, in order for recycling to be effective, it must be done properly?\u00a0 Any recyclable placed in your recycling bin should be:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><strong>Empty<\/strong> of all its contents.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong> Clean<\/strong> and rinsed if needed.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Dry<\/strong> before placed in the recycling bin.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>While all bottles, cans and containers should be clean, dry and free of most food waste before you place them in your recycling container, they don\u2019t need to be spotless. The goal is to make sure they are clean enough to avoid contaminating other materials.<\/p>\r\n<p>As part of the contest, students were encouraged to incorporate the three-step rule, \u201cEmpty, Clean, and Dry\u201d into their artwork. The entries were categorized by grade level and judged based on originality, visual clarity, clear messaging, and adherence to the theme.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-7440 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rtcsnv.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.rtcsnv.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27640%27%20height%3D%27480%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20640%20480%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27640%27%20height%3D%27480%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/12\/NDEP-Poster-Contest-Winner.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to having their posters on display inside select RTC transit buses, the winners also received cash prizes for themselves and their classroom.
