RecycleMania 2020

Old Dominion University participates in a nationwide RecycleMania competition for eight weeks each spring. RecycleMania is a friendly recycling tournament among universities across the United States and Canada to promote campus recycling programs and waste minimization. Participating institutions compete to collect the most recyclables per capita, the greatest total weight of recyclables, and to generate the least amount of waste through campus recycling activities. Weight of recyclables and waste are reported every week with nationwide results displayed on Fridays.

RecycleMania allows institutions to promote campus recycling and waste reduction programs and motivates students and staff on the importance of recycling and waste reduction across generations. The rankings encourage support for college recycling efforts as well as improvements in campus recycling programs over time. Winning institutions receive national recognition on the RecycleMania website and a national press release. In addition, winning institutions receive a trophy made out of recycled materials and the right to host the category’s special traveling trophy for the upcoming year.
