2009 Artwork Winners

The 2009 Waste Management Guide and Collection Calendar which has everything residents need to know about waste collection in Halton Region will be delivered to homes starting January 14. The Calendar is effective February 1 and includes a schedule for Blue Box, GreenCart, garbage, bulk and yard waste collection, information on the Halton Waste Management Site, dates for 2009 special events such as compost giveaway, tire recycling and important waste diversion programs like Take It Back! Halton.

The 2009 Waste Management Guide and Collection Calendar also features some of Halton’s talented young artists who were selected as the Calendar Cover Art Contest winners – a contest that ran in the fall of 2008 asking children from kindergarten to grade eight to create the 2009 calendar cover using the theme More Blue and Green for a Better Planet. One child from each of the four Local Municipalities was selected from over 250 entries to have their creative design featured on the 2009 calendar cover. Winners include Katherine DiBattista (Burlington), Sarah Reid (Halton Hills), Soonalika Srivastava (Milton) and Elizabeth Yeoh (Oakville).

“It is encouraging to see residents of all ages getting involved in Halton’s Waste Management programs,” said Gary Carr, Halton’s Regional Chair. “On behalf of Halton Regional Council I would like to congratulate all four of our Calendar Cover Art Contest winners for their enthusiasm and creativity and I look forward to seeing their artwork showcased throughout the Region when the calendars are delivered later this month.”

Residents can also find their 2009 Collection Calendar online by visiting the Region’s website at www.halton.ca Maps of collection areas and collection calendars for each Local Municipality are now online which identify Blue Box, GreenCart, garbage, bulk and yard waste collection dates for 2009.
