RecycleMania has arrived! |
RecycleMania is an eight-week recycling competition across the nation from Feb. 3 to March 30. The goal for this competition is to track all of the waste going to the landfills and other diverted materials that will be leaving campus during this time. Additionally, there will be activities on campus to inform students about the importance of practicing sustainable habits. Sustainability asks all students and staff to participate in our campus competition by ensuring they are properly disposing of waste and recyclables.
