South Street School student Austin Callegari was the first-place winner in the (K-2) category of the Brookhaven Recycles Poster Contest. His winning poster is a rendition of a boy placing recyclables in the Brookhaven Curby can with the slogan “Winners Recycle Every Day!”

The inaugural Brookhaven Recycles Poster Contest was open to all K-12 students in Brookhaven Town. More than 300 students submitted posters with a theme of “Recycle Every Day! Or “Stop Litter!” Winners were selected in groups of grade levels and special education.

The goal of the contest was to encourage the entrants and others in the community to continue recycling, keep the planet clean and to be stewards of the planet.
