Schools compete to see which can collect the largest amount of
acceptable recyclables per person. This is the original Recyclemania
competition. The Colby ranking is
low in part because we donŐt recycle bottles and cans.

Waste Minimization (N=66)

of waste and recyclables, emphasizing reuse and source reduction over
recycling.

Targeted Materials
In addition to reporting the total amount of materials recycled,
schools have the option to report recycled materials separately, including
bottles and cans, corrugated, food service organics, and paper. Recyclemania
provides targeted recognition opportunities to schools that conduct successful
campaigns to increase the amount of specific materials collected.
