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.
