Pennsylvania Leads Other States In 2009 RecycleMania College Competition

Pennsylvania leads all states in the number of colleges and universities participating in the 2009 RecycleMania competition sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

 

Of the 510 colleges registered for the 2009 competition, Pennsylvania leads the states with 48 schools participating.

 

Colleges compete for RecycleMania recognition by logging how many tons of materials they collect to recycle over 10 weeks, which began January 21.

 

Although the competition is underway, schools can still register online.

 

RecycleMania is part of EPA's WasteWise Voluntary Program to reduce municipal solid waste.
