Recycle Mania 2011

Stop! Before you throw that paper, can, or plastic bottle in the trash...

Are you up for a friendly competition? Wilson Community College is participating in RecycleMania, a friendly competition among college and university recycling programs in the United States that provides the campus community with a fun, proactive activity in waste reduction. Over the next 10-week period, campuses are competing in different contests to see which institution can collect the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, or have the highest recycling rate.

The main goal of RecycleMania competition is to increase student awareness of campus recycling and waste minimization. All participating schools report measurements on a weekly basis. In the end, RecycleMania helps all participating colleges and universities make achievements in recycling and waste reduction!

So continue to throw all recyclable products in to our recycle bins, encourage your students to do the same, and help us win the competition!

Do your part, recycle.
