RecycleMania is a nationwide recycling and waste reduction competition in which any degree certifying college or university that registers can participate. This is UCSB's first year participating in the competition.
The Competition is broken down into 5 categories. UCSB will be participating in each one.
1. Grand Champion
The Grand Champion category combines trash and core recyclable materials to determine a school's recycling rate as a percentage of its overall waste generation. Successful colleges and universities in this category demonstrate their achievement in both source reduction and recycling.
2. Stephen K Gaski Per Capita Classic
Schools compete to see which can collect the largest combined amount of paper, cardboard and bottles and cans per person. The Per Capita Classic is the original RecycleMania competition.
3. Waste Minimization
Schools compete to see which produces the least amount of municipal solid waste (both recyclables and trash) per person. This competition is intended to reward those schools that generate the least amount of combined waste and recyclables, emphasizing reuse and source reduction over recycling.
4. Gorilla Prize
This category recognizes the larger schools that recycle the highest gross tonnage of combined paper, cardboard and bottle and cans during the ten-week competition, regardless of campus population.
5. Targeted Materials
In addition to the four primary competitions, schools may compete in four targeted material categories including Paper, Corrugated Cardboard, Bottles and Cans, and Food Service Organics. UCSB will be participating in the Office Pack Competition.
