RecycleMania is a friendly competition between college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities in their campus communities. For 10 weeks beginning every January, UMW Landscape and Grounds, the Ecology Club, Residence Life Sustainability Coordinators and other student organizations join forces to collect and report recycling and trash data in hopes of becoming the next Recyclemania Champions!

Information on how and what to recycle is available at UMW Recycling.
