The city’s Recycling and Sanitation Division is looking for photos of city landmarks and locations from long ago.

Last week Mayor Scott Avedisian announced a “retro” theme is planned for the 2015 recycling calendar, which is prepared by the Recycling and Sanitation Division, and residents with photos from the 1970s and earlier are invited to submit them for consideration. Each month will feature a different photo; so 12 pictures will be selected. 

Those with hard copies of photos are asked to submit a print, which will be scanned. Or, photos may be burned onto a CD or disc in tiff, epf or jpeg format.

Photos may be emailed to: sanitation@warwickri.com (please note that the subject line should state: calendar photo submission) or may be dropped off at or mailed to: Department of Public Works, Attn: Christopher Beneduce, 925 Sandy Lane, Warwick, RI 02889, during normal business hours. The deadline to submit photos is Sept. 19. The calendars will be distributed by the third week in December.

Each submission should include a brief description, the name of the photographer, if known (and the person submitting the photo, if they are different), and location of the scene. Names of those whose photos are selected will be included in the calendar. Beneduce can be reached at 738-2000, ext. 6548.
