There are still a few weeks left in this year’s RecycleMania 2012.
For those kids who are visiting colleges within the next few weeks, RecycleMania is a great way to see your future University's school spirit and their will to clean up the environment.
Each spring, college's across the US participate in an 8-week competition to see which school can collectthe most trash and recyclable materials. These statistics are ranked in various categories based on who recycles the most per capita, the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste and which school generates the least amount of combined trash and recycling.
Every week there is an updated ranking where participating schools can follow their performance against other colleges and use the results to rally the campus to reduce and recycle more (http://recyclemaniacs.org/about).
The winning school's receive an award made out of recyclable materials and win the right to host that category’s special traveling trophy for the coming year.
The overall goals for this program are to motivate students and staff to recycle more and reduce waste, grab attention to campus recycling programs, encourage colleges to improve their recycling rate and decrease waste over time, and above all, to have a fun and fair competition.
Is your school participating in RecycleMania 2012? If so, tell us about it on our Facebook Wall, linked HERE!
