What Is RecycleMania?
RecycleMania is a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Over a 10-week period, schools report recycling and trash data which are then ranked according to who collects 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. With each week’s reports and rankings, participating schools watch how their results fluctuate against other schools and use this to rally their campus communities to reduce and recycle more.
This is UT Martin's third year competing and we do really well against our fellow UT system schools and we rock the OVC as well. In 2009 we recycled an average of 3.5 pounds of materials per person, almost triple the numbers for UTC and UTK. We need to keep this up so make sure to recycle when you are campus (counts towards the competition) but bring your stuff from home (counts for the environment).
