RecycleMania is a 10-week recycling competition between colleges and universities across the United States. The competition began in 2001 between Ohio University and Miami University (Ohio), and the number of participants quickly increased in subsequent years.
RecycleMania includes various contests for: the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, and the highest recycling rate. Hamilton is measuring its recycling rate.
RecycleMania's main goal is to increase student awareness of campus recycling and waste minimization. Consider what you can do to help Hamilton improve our recycling rates and reduce our waste!
