South Dublin County Council’s Christmas Decoration Competition from Recycled Materials
On December 16th 2015, the Mayor of South Dublin County, Cllr Sarah Holland presented the winners of the SDCC Christmas Decoration Recycling Competition with their prizes in County Hall.
Mayor Holland said “Every year the fantastic response to this competition amazes me and this year was no different. Handmade decorations are so precious. Every time you make a decoration from ordinary household recyclable materials, you are helping the environment and creating something unique that can be given as gifts to your family. Once you get into the habit of thinking this way, there is no limit to your creativity, the amount of recycling you can do and the money you can save. Congratulations to everyone”
This Christmas Mayor Holland asks you to pass on the important message of recycling to your family and friends but also to remember that food waste can increase over the Christmas, so use up leftovers or freeze food to be used another time.
South Dublin County Council would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the annual competition. All the decorations created are fantastic and all made from materials from the green bin!
