Stash Your Trash

What: Work with the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County’s “Stash Your 
Trash” campaign to host a Make-a-Heron sculpture, whereby teams will 
create a life size heron sculpture out of recyclable and found objects. 
The public will vote on the winning sculpture at the November 3rd Friday 
downtown; the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce will award the 
sculpture to the “greenest business” to be passed on every few months to 
promote the anti-litter campaign.

Why:Last spring the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County started a 
“Stash Your Trash” campaign to clean up our streets and waterways. Also 
last spring, a Salisbury University student designed the logo and this 
fall we hope our Make-a-Heron contest will raise public awareness about 
the need to keep our environment clean.
