This year’s Trash Art contest, held by UW recycling, has finally come to an end! Students & staff were invited for the fifth year in a row to submit artwork created from items normally thought of as trash, or a written work about waste and sustainability, that conveyed feelings or ideas about waste and sustainability.

Check out the link below to see all the wonderful submissions, including the winners of each submission category. PoE’s own Benji Blatt earned second place in the ‘Literature’ category for his poem titled Benny the Banana.
