Each year Haldimand County Environmental Operations sponsors a contest for the Caledonia Fair. In 2023 children in grades 5 through 8 were asked to take a basic cylindrical can from your blue box and design a freestanding, artistic looking robot, adding additional recycled items accepted within Haldimand County’s curbside collection program (i.e. metal, lids, paper, cardboard, containers etc.).
The students did a great job! Pictured above on the left are the entries received and on the right are the winners.
