Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, right? The organizers of RecycleMania think so. They have organized a competition among more than 500 colleges across the country to see who can recycle the most and reduce the most waste per student.Schools compete in various categories including who can collect the most recyclables and increase the overall recycle rate per student. The competition now also includes a waste reduction category so there is incentive to not just to recycle but also to use less.
The school to recycle most and to reduce the most waste generated per student becomes the Grand Champion.
Last year, Recyclemania helped recycle 69.4 Million pounds of garbage. Last years Grand Champion? California State University San Marcos, who has won 5 years in a row, which is impressive to say the least.
Starting on Friday, results will start coming in each week for the 2010 leaders. You can track those results here. Can anyone beat CSU San Marcos? Check to see if your school is participating here.
