Sponsored by the city and American Disposal Services, the contest offers a $1,000 first-place prize Nov. 15 on "America Recycles Day."

Submissions will be accepted beginning Friday and running through Sept. 13.
It's an homage to "America Recycles Day," Nov. 5, when the first-place winner receives $1,000.
