The name of the campaign(s):
A brief description of the campaign(s):
Recyclemania is a national recycling competition that LMU participated in to gauge how effective the university's recycling efforts are in comparison to other institutions. The purpose of the competition is to raise awareness and participation of the student body as well as faculty and staff. If the institution is successful in the recycling campaign there should be lowering of total waste, an increase in the amount of material that is being recycled, and higher recycling rate.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
The campaign was promoted heavily in the campus newspaper, The Loyolan, before the campaign officially started to increase awareness campus wide. Results were reported continuously throughout the length of the campaign to inform of progress and generate further support and participation. The LMU Facilities Management department increased recycling opportunities by purchasing new recycling stations. In high traffic areas, regular trash cans were replaced with a three-compartment recycling station for solid waste, paper, and beverage containers, making it more convenient for students, faculty, and staff to recycle.
