RecycleMania

After trying for several years, Wake Forest has finally entered into the RecycleMania competition. RecycleMania is a 10-week recycling and waste reduction competition between colleges and universities. This year it runs from January 17th to March 27th. It’s a fun way to promote recycling and waste reduction campaigns across college campuses and to increase awareness about the schools’ policies.

Historically, Duke and UNC have had much higher recycling rates than Wake Forest, but this gives us a chance to directly compete with them. Also, Wake Forest will finally be measuring our waste and recycling rate, which is something the university has never had an accurate measure of in the past.

So tell your friends about RecycleMania, use the reusable to-go containers at the pit, cut back on take-out, recycle everything you can, and make sure your friends don't contaminate the recycling bins.
