Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners of Citrus County is recognizing the sixth annual Citrus County Trash to Treasure Recycling art contest. This event, sponsored by University of Florida IFAS Extension Citrus County and Citrus County Solid Waste Management, aims to increase recycling awareness. Artwork must be at least seventy percent recycled materials and will be displayed at the Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness from April 6th to April 17th, and then at the Lecanto Government Complex for an Earth Day celebration on April 18th. Winning artists will receive cash prizes totaling $555.00. This is a planned event, with the proclamation being recognized on April 14, 2026. The project involves the display of student and adult artwork, prize money distribution, and public awareness campaigns related to recycling. Local businesses involved in event services, printing, signage, and potentially suppliers for art materials or display setups could find opportunities. Early engagement before the event dates would be beneficial.
