Recyclemania Ends Friday

Turn in all of your recyclables this week! Recyclemania, a 10-week recycling contest for colleges and universities across the country, ends Friday.

This year is the first time The University of Georgia has entered the national Recyclemania competition and is currently ranked fourth for the “Gorilla Prize.” The Gorilla Prize honors the school that recycles the highest gross tonnage of materials during the ten-week competition, regardless of campus population. UGA is also ranked fifth for Target Material-Paper.

The Go Green Alliance held "Clean Out Your Files Day" on Friday, March 29. This event was extremely successful and it encouraged recycling since Recyclemania ends April 5.

With only two days left, you can make a difference. Bring all of your recycable products to your nearest recycling bin on the UGA campus. Help UGA win this nation-wide recycling competition!
