SNYDER, TX – The City of Snyder, in partnership with Snyder ISD and the Keep Snyder Beautiful committee, is excited to announce the annual Bottle Recycling Challenge, kicking off on November 11, 2024. In celebration of Snyder Recycles Day and America Recycles Day (November 15th), students in grades PK-12 are invited to collect #1 and #2 plastic bottles and bring them to school for a chance to win exciting prizes!
Bottle collection will be from November 11th to November 13th, between 7:20 AM and 8:00 AM at each Snyder ISD campus. For every bag of bottles brought to school, students will receive raffle tickets to win special prizes. Two small bags earn one ticket, one medium bag earns two tickets, and one large bag earns five tickets.
In addition, the grade level with the most bottles collected will win a special prize! Snyder ISD district employees can participate by bringing bags of bottles to compete for staff prizes.
The Bottle Challenge also supports the Caps For Life initiative by encouraging students to remove bottle caps and bag them separately. The caps will be collected by Snyder Intermediate's STEAM Team and are recycled to fund cancer treatments for children in Mexico.
Community members are also encouraged to recycle at designated recycling points across the city to support the Keep Snyder Beautiful initiative. Together, we can work toward a cleaner, greener community!
Join us in this fun and meaningful challenge to promote sustainability in Snyder! Keep an eye on our social media for updates and final results.
