K recycling guru Rob Townsend with two recent student “Recyclemaniacs.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recycling an old tradition, Kalamazoo College is off to a good start in Recyclemania 2013, the friendly annual competition and benchmarking tool that allows college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still maintain our dynasty and I am happy with it!\u201d said longtime K Recycling Coordinator Rob Townsend<\/strong>. \u201cI have a great crew of students who lead the campus recycling effort throughout the year. And they always step up their game during Recyclemania.\u201d<\/p>\n

According Rob, results after two weeks of competition show K is at or near the top of several categories, including \u201cBottles and Cans\u201d (#1), Corrugated Cardboard\u201d (#3), and \u201cPer Capita Classic\u201d (#2) in which schools try to collect the largest combined amount of paper, cardboard, and bottles and cans on a per person basis.<\/p>\n

More than 600 colleges representing 49 states, four Canadian provinces, and 7.5 million students now participate in the eight-week competition.<\/p>\n

And remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!<\/p>\n
