2025-26 Youth Recycling Contest
K-12 Students across the country are invited to participate in a national recycling video and poster contest sponsored by ReMA and JASON Learning! This year’s challenge is Battery Recycling: Hidden Risk, Uncovered Reward. For this challenge, students must research the hidden risks behind improperly recycling batteries, as well as the rewards of recycling batteries correctly. Using their research, students develop a poster or video Public Service Announcement (a call to action with an important message meant to inspire change) communicating how we can each do our part to support recycling safety by preparing recyclables for processing.
Two grand prize winners will be selected and honored at the ReMA2026 Convention in Las Vegas, NV.
