RecycleMania 2019<http://education.utsa.edu/awards_announcements/article/recycleman... Recyclemania is a nationwide intercollegiate contest designed to help our universities and communities become better stewards of the environment. The friendly annual competition runs for eight weeks, beginning in February. The school that recycles the most material per capita wins the competition—however, we all win because we achieve a greener environment. A successful recycling program requires education, promotion, teamwork, and the participation of the entire community. The success of our program at UTSA depends on your cooperation! Please, before throwing away items, consider those recyclable products that can be disposed of in the blue recycling containers. These include paper, cardboard, plastics, and aluminum cans. Items that go into trash bins include items such as food, liquids, used napkins and facial tissues, coffee grounds, and styrofoam.
