Recyclemania Update

For those who did not read the earlier post about Recyclemania, it is a nationwide competition for recycling between colleges and universities. Haverford is participating for the 3rd straight year.

As of week 7 of the 8-week competition, we have recycled 16.24 tons that otherwise would have been thrown into a landfill. For those of you who are not math wiz’s, thats roughly 32,000 lbs of recycling.

As of week 5, Haverford is 1st in the Centennial Conference in per capita recycling at 18.98 lbs per person, and 1st in Pennsylvania out of 27 schools.

We are 22nd in the entire per capita competition out of 320 schools!

Stay tuned for the final rankings.

Keep on recycling Haverford!
