“March to 70” RecycleMania Planning Committee positions open for winter quarter!
Purpose of the “March to 70” RecycleMania Planning Committee
The objective of the RecycleMania Student Planning Committee is to help UW rise in the rankings in the 2014 RecycleMania competition by engaging the campus community to recycle and compost more and send less waste to the landfill during the competition period. 
From February 2 – March 29, the UW is competing with hundreds of universities in 5 categories: (1) the highest waste diversion rate (recycling more than we throw away); (2) the highest recycling rate per person on campus; (3) the highest gross tonnage of recycling generated on campus; (4) the highest percentage of food waste composted per person; and (5) Basketball Game Day Challenge (the highest recycling rate in a single basketball game). We need the committee’s help to bring UW to the top in each of these categories.
