RecycleMania

RecycleMania is a friendly 10 week competition between colleges and universities across the nation who get ranked based on the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, and the least amount of trash per capita of their campus population. MCC is competing in the Benchmark Category and we are taking our college to the next competition level in terms of reporting specific weights for bottles, card board, paper, and food wastes along with total single stream recycling which is what MCC primarily does. Here is the website to the competition overview: http://www.recyclemaniacs.org/overview.htm

MCC needs your help with RecycleMania. Here is what you can do:

• Recycle any paper, plastic, cans, card-board, and corrugated boxes into your single-stream bins from now thru April 2^nd. There are large trashcans on most floors of most buildings for recycling. Any of the yellow dumpsters on campus are single stream recycling units as well.
• Deliver any glass you have to the Science Building and leave in the main foyer of the science building in a blue recycle bin labeled as Glass. The glass container will be available starting Valentine’s Day. Environmental Science students will recycle the glass for their course recycling projects after weighing them each week.
  
• Yes, you can bring your recyclables from home but they must make it to campus every week by Tuesday to be counted in that week’s statistics.

Our goal is to recycle 10% more than we did last year. We can do it!!!!!
