Recyclemania Begins Today

Today Haverford is beginning its participation in a 2-month long competition called Recyclemania. The aim is simple: to recycle as much as possible. Last year Haverford came in 1st in the per capita division in the PA and in the Centennial Conference.

At Haverford, the competition is upcampus vs. downcampus. Students up campus can recycle in an bin labeled for recycling, while HCA residents should recycle in the large rectangular dumpster in front of apt. 38. The competition goes until March 5th.

Check back here for regular updates on our national standing and upcampus vs. downcampus.

Phrase of the day: “Reduce, Reuse, then Recycle”…in other words, don’t buy something disposable unless necessary, if you do buy something then reuse it, and then when you are done with it, please recycle!
