Black Water Middle School students know how to turn trash into treasure.
The school submitted an entry to the Horry County Solid Waste Authority’s annual POP (Protect
Our Planet) Art Recycling Contest.
Eighth grader Taylor Stevenson, and friends, Laura CruzPrieto and Andrew Thews created a milk and juice carton farm, entitled “R-E-C-Y-C-L-E“, which was selected as the grand prize winner in the Horry County Solid Waste Authority’s POP Art Contest.
As grand prize winner, Taylor received an electronic reading device, a plaque and a prize pack of
recycled-content items including school supplies.
This was the nineteenth year the Horry County Solid Waste Authority offered the POP Art
Contest.
The contest is designed to promote environmental awareness and highlight the creative talents of students. The contest was open to all middle school students in Horry County.
The students were required to create a work of art using at least 70% of a specified material chosen by the Solid Waste Authority. This year’s material was used milk and or juice cartons.
“R-E-C-Y-C-L-E” will be on display through February 2023 at the Horry County Solid Waste Authority, located at 1886 Highway 90, Conway.
