The Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District is dedicated to promoting recycling, waste reduction, and responsible waste management within the county.

One of the most important ways the district carries out that mission is through education. Whether distributing 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 met many in the community who share the same values and goals. These people include teachers who reuse household items for lesson plans to employees of local businesses who spearhead work recycling programs.

Whether it's part of their job or a personal commitment, the SWMD wants to recognize and applaud community members for the work they've done providing environmental education and promoting responsible waste management in the community.

The district has developed an Environmental Education Award to recognize people whose work in the community furthers the mission. Nominations are now being accepted for the first annual Environmental Education Award. Nomination forms are available online at HendricksSolidWaste.com. The forms should be completed and returned no later than Oct. 31. The selected recipient will be presented with the award at the district's board meeting on Dec. 21.

Community residents interested in nominating themselves or someone else should complete the nomination form and return it to Hendricks County SWMD, 104 E. Main St., Brownsburg, IN 46112-1216.

Nomination forms may also be returned to the district via fax at 858-6071 or e-mail at karcher@HendricksSolidWaste.com.

For more information, contact the SWMD by calling 858-6070 or e-mailing to info@HendricksSolidWaste.com.
