Company launches effort to encourage recycling at more than 600 campuses, provides 50,000 recycling bins, and recycling training and tools for campus facilities managers participating in RecycleMania
Alcoa Foundation joins forces with national nonprofit Keep America Beautiful (KAB) to educate the next generation of recyclers through RecycleMania, an intense university-based competition that runs from February 6 to April 2, 2011. Rounding out the partnership are additional activities to promote recycling on individual and institutional levels.
Over the 10-week competition, colleges and universities will vie for top awards in nine categories to see who recycles the most on a per capita basis, who produces the least amount of waste, and who recycles the largest percentage of their overall waste.
