Here’s one contest for some local kids with a can do attitude.

Kindergarteners throughout the county are being asked to collect aluminum cans for the Chester County Solid Waste Authority, the department announced in a recent press release. The most prolific young recyclers will win cash prizes, with $300 going to the top collector.

In addition, each child in the winning class will receive a beanbag replica of Chester County’s own recycling mascot, Reecie Recycle. 

The contest officially begins January 1 and ends February 28. Entries are due by March 8.

According to the release, a contact person is required to be designated to coordinate the contest within the kindergarten program at each school.

Prospective participants are being asked to call 610-273-3771 for an official entry form and contest guidelines.
