A total of 44 schools in 14 counties will compete to see which school can recycle the most paper (per capita) during the month of October in this first year of the statewide GreenSylvania recycling contest.

            The Centre County Solid Waste Authority, in cooperation with the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III with support from Keep America Beautiful, are sponsoring the competition.  
            The competition is an outgrowth of the national RecycleMania competition conducted on college campuses.
         The school that recycles the most paper at the end of the competition will be awarded with state-wide recognition, a traveling trophy and bragging rights for the whole year.  The top Centre County school will be awarded a $250.00 cash prize to be donated toward their Environmental or Conservation Club, with the second place school receiving a $100.00 cash prize.
            The schools in Centre County who will be competing this month include: Bald Eagle Area High School, Bellefonte Elementary, Bellefonte High School, Gray’s Woods Elementary, Ferguson Township Elementary, Houserville Elementary, Mount Nittany Middle School, Nittany Christian School, Park Forest Elementary, Penns Valley High School, Philipsburg-Osceola High School, State College Friends School, State College High School and Wingate Elementary.
