With the end of the semester there is one more thing to
celebrate. Near the end of each spring semester the Office of Residence Life
and our residence hall students participate in a competition of sorts, called Recyclemania,
to see if we can increase the recycling efforts of our residence hall students.
This year Recyclemania lasted from the end of January though
the end of April. A special thanks to the RAs for their efforts to consistently
encourage our residents to recycle. Through these efforts the residence hall
students diverted 10,259 lbs, or close to 5 tons that would have otherwise been
disposed of by going to a landfill. Here is the breakdown, by building, of
the total weight of recycling collected from the floors and the weight recycled
per student.

2 Notes:
- The “T. lbs. Collected from Student Floors” was divided by your building occupancy to give the weight recycled per student.
- Yes, the “T. lbs. Collected from Student Floors” does not equal 10,259 lbs. The 10,259 lbs. includes the Towers Complex, Dearmont Complex, LaFerla Main Lobby, etc, areas that are not tied to a specific community.
