RecycleMania kicks off two-month-long recycling competition
TerraCycle Include USA
The recycling mania at Penn has officially begun.
From February 5 through March 31, Penn will compete in the 2012 RecycleMania Tournament, a recycling competition held annually between over 600 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
Penn’s student Eco-Reps are the main voices of the competition on campus and will be promoting it over the course of the next eight weeks.
Coming off last year’s final University-wide recycling rate of 28.94 percent — about one percent off the target goal of 30 percent — Penn is now aiming for 32 percent.
