Have Your College or University Participate in Recyclemania!
Start preparing for Recyclemania 2012! Recycle Mania is a contest among colleges across the country to divert the most waste from landfills and encourage greater interest among students in environmental sustainability.
Locally, for the 2011 competition, Alcoa Warrick Operations encouraged the two universities in this challenge through the donation of recycling bins and a $1,500 prize to the school that performed the best on a per capita basis. Click below to find out who won!
The University of Evansville won the local contest, collecting 15.45 pounds of waste for every student, compared to USI’s 5.64 pounds per student. The University of Evansville also finished first in the state of Indiana among the 10 Hoosier schools, and it also placed in the top tier of schools nationwide on a per capita basis, finishing 119th out of 630 schools.
