Four more recycling trucks in the City of Greenville's fleet have a new look thanks to the winners of the City's recent "Keep Greenville Green" recycling art poster contest. The artwork on the trucks was unveiled Wednesday at the City's Public Works Department during a ceremony as part of Public Works Appreciation Week.

This is the second year the City has sponsored the recycling art poster contest for local K-12 students. Last year, four other winning designs were enlarged and displayed on the trucks. According to Public Works officials, student artwork is now displayed on approximately one-third of the City's fleet.

Students were asked to create a poster that effectively and clearly highlighted the importance of recycling based on a recycling theme. City officials say they hope the poster contest will help Greenville promote its goal of increasing recycling, composting, and buying recycled products and packaging.

According to Public Works Director Kevin Mulligan, the city has received a lot of positive feedback about the artwork on the trucks and recycling in Greenville has increased by about 10 percent since last year.
