Track our progress during the competition at http://www.recyclemaniacs.org/ or click on the link to check out the weekly graphs showing how much recycling, compost and landfill/trash we are generating.
When is it?
The competition runs 8 weeks from February 6th-April 2nd.
Why are we doing it?
--Increase recycling on campus
--Divert waste from going to landfill
--Beat competing schools! GO DONS!
In 2010 USF placed 11th out of over 400 schools in the composting competition, and 120th for recycling !!
Congratulations to USF for placing well! Let’s see if we can do better this year!
Every month, USF generates 93 tons of garbage, and 131 tons of recyclable and compostable materials combined, meaning that about 60% of our waste is diverted from the landfill.
