LaGrange County 4-H - Recycling

No State Fair Entries

Complete two activities in the handout for your level plus the project record sheet.

Exhibit General Rules
The recycling project is based on the 4 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover) and should involve at least one of the following guidelines:

• The material is reshaped from one form to another, or
• The material is reprocessed from one form to another, or
• The material is redesigned into a different type of product.

Projects will be judged based on originality, creativity, and the exhibitor’s use of discarded, recyclable materials. 
4-H’ers should keep in mind that new items purchased specifically for this exhibit defeat the purpose of recycling.
