Recyclemania

For the fourth year in a row, Texas Tech University will participate in Recyclemania, an eight-week tournament that ranks colleges and universities based on their recycling efforts. The competition, which begins today, is an opportunity to promote recycling and to bring awareness to sustainability efforts on campus. The recycling center will host a table near the Student Union Building several times during the competition that will include a giveaway each time.

Items that can be recycled include everything from paper, plastic and glass, to certain metals, textiles and foam. The items will be collected from bins in the residences halls and the academic buildings, including the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

If you have any questions about participating, contact Melanie Tatum at m.tatum@ttu.edu, or visit their website, http://www.depts.ttu.edu/housing/gogreen/index.php.

This is an awesome way to help your campus and community, not to mention the environment!

Get your guns up, get to recycling, and wreck ‘em, Tech!
