RecycleMania

A brief description of the campaign(s):
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.

A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
RecycleMania has helped to catalyze the campus in regards to solid waste awareness. In the 2012 competition, Guilford was ranked at 46 out of 605 participating schools.
