Recyclemania ‘08
Recyclemania 2008 has started! Over a 10-week period (January 27-April 5), campuses compete in different contests to see which institution can collect various recyclables! This competition is to encourage recycling on college and university campuses nationwide, Recyclemania is the hottest thing to hit recycling since aluminum cans!
