Recycling Champions Building Competition!
This winter semester, the UM Recycling Program will be hosting the Third Annual Recycling Champions Building Competition, an intra-campus waste reduction and recycling competition! This competition will run in conjunction with RecycleMania from January 18th – March 28th, 2009. The Recycling Champions competition will pit participating buildings on the UM Ann Arbor Campus against one another. We will track participating buildings' recycling and trash each week. Like last year, we will be having the Recycling Rate Competition, Most Improved Recycling Rate, and Waste Reduction Competitions.
The Most Improved Recycling Rate Competition will compare the 2009 recycling rate over the course of the ten weeks to the 2008 recycling rate over the same time period.
The Waste Reduction Competition will compare the total waste (recycling and trash) in 2009 to the total waste produced in 2008.
The winning buildings in each category will be presented with coveted Recycling Champions awards at the April Facilities Users Network meeting.
