The Madison County Green Schools Program invites students in grades K-12 within Madison County schools to participate in the NEW Upcycling Innovation Challenge. Upcycling is the act of creating a product from waste or unwanted items or adapting an existing product in a creative way to add value. When items are upcycled, they reduce waste from going to the landfill and improve the efficiency of our resources.

All entries and entry forms must be received no later than 4:00 pm, April 15th, 2022. Entry forms can be mailed, dropped off in person, or submitted online via the link on the entry page. Winners will be recognized on our Madison County Resource Management Facebook page, Instagram, and website. Winning entries will also be displayed in-person at the County Administration Building.
