Sand Springs 5th grader wins trash truck art contest with eco-friendly design

A young artist from Sand Springs is making a big impact, both creatively and environmentally.

Taylor, a 5th grader at Northwoods Fine Arts Academy, was recently named the winner of the city’s “Trash Truck Art” contest.

Taylor’s vibrant design has been transformed into a full-size vinyl mural wrap, now proudly displayed on one of the City of Sand Springs’ trash trucks.

The contest, hosted by the City, was created to promote environmental awareness and encourage responsible water quality practices among students.

The newly wrapped trash truck will make its public debut at the upcoming “Truck Touch” event, taking place Saturday, May 3 at Charles Page High School.

The event offers families a hands-on opportunity to explore a variety of city and emergency vehicles.

With her artwork now rolling through the streets of Sand Springs, Taylor is turning heads—and turning trash into a message of sustainability.
