Welcome to Recyclemania 2013!

HOW MUCH CAN U RECYCLE?!

   Union College is approaching its annual Recyclemania!! Recyclemania is a friendly competition among colleges and universities all across the US and Canada working to promote waste reduction!

 In January 2001, Recyclemania began as a challenge between Ohio University and Miami University to motivate students to recycle across campus. Today, over 600 colleges and universities all over the US and Canada participate! Over an 8-week span, registered colleges and universities report their weekly trash and recycling amounts and are ranked in various categories.  

Categories include:

1.  Grand Champion, 
2. Per Capita Classic, 
3. Waste Minimization, 
4. Gorilla Prize,
5.  Paper, Cardboard, 
6. Bottles and Cans, 
7. Food Service Organics, 
8. and Electronics

At Union College, our goal is to identify weaknesses in the recycling program and turn them into strengths! The ULTIMATE goal is waste minimization and hold zero waste events! Can U help Union College meet its goal?! Get involved and advertise, educate, and brainstorm ways to get the campus involved! Please email lanzitk@garnet.union.edu for more information on program and onyiuken@garnet.union.edu if you have any interest in helping with advertising. 

Sunday, February 3^rd is the official start of the 2013 tournament, ending on Saturday, March 30^th.  Final results are announced on Friday, April 12^th! Union has won FIRST PLACE for two years in a row in two categories (cardboard and per capita classic) and has done very well in other categories. Help Union keep up the winning streak!!!

HAPPY RECYCLEMANIA!!
