In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Operation Greenlid contest encourages schools to implement and enhance their recycling efforts throughout the academic year. Participation provides students with direct engagement in recycling processes, fostering a deeper understanding of where waste originates and how it is managed. Beyond educational benefits, the program also seeks to inspire the adoption of more sustainable habits that can extend beyond the classroom and into students’ daily lives. At the conclusion of the contest, the top three schools demonstrating the most significant participation and commitment to recycling will be recognized with cash prizes. This financial incentive is intended to support ongoing sustainability initiatives within the winning schools.
Schools interested in joining the Operation Greenlid contest can register by contacting the Berkeley County Recycling and Solid Waste office. Prospective participants can reach out via email at office@berkeleycountyrecycling.com or by phone at 304-267-9370. Further details regarding contest guidelines and participation requirements are expected to be made available through these contact channels. This program is a key component of Berkeley County’s ongoing efforts to promote environmental stewardship and build a more sustainable future, with a particular focus on empowering the next generation.
