San Lorenzo, CA – For 21 years, Oro Loma and its hauler partner, Waste Management, have sponsored an Earth Day Poster Contest. The competition, open to all students in grades K-12 attending one of 30 schools in the District served for recycling by Waste Management, strives to foster responsible environmental stewardship, while supporting students and their schools with generous cash prizes totaling over $25,000 each year.

The theme of the Oro Loma Earth Day 2015 Poster Contest is “Recycle RIGHT in Oro Loma.” Students are asked to create posters that show they understand the correct way to recycle in Oro Loma.

The contest, which is now underway, will end on March 20, 2015. Free poster paper with complete contest rules and an official entry form is available from students’ schools and from Oro Loma and Waste Management. More information, including FAQs and a downloadable entry from, may be found on the District’s website, www.oroloma.org.

Winners will be announced on www.oroloma.org on Earth Day, April 22, 2015. An awards ceremony honoring the winners, their families, and their schools will take place in San Leandro in May 2015.
