Caitlyn Taylor from Narrabri High School won first place in the Narrabri Shire Truck Art Competition. Her artwork, which she described as being fun to draw, demonstrated clearly how simple it was to recycle and the environmental benefits. On one side, she drew waste going into the green bins with a green tick, and while waste on the other side on the ground with a big red cross.
