UNL leads Big Ten in paper, cardboard recycling
UNL has grabbed an early lead among Big Ten universities competing in RecycleMania, a friendly recycling competition.
The competition includes more than 500 universities across the United States and Canada. In results from the first two weeks, UNL led all Big Ten schools in the paper category with 2.056 pounds of paper recycled per person on campus. The average ranked UNL 20th overall in the RecycleMania paper recycling category.
UNL is also first in the Big Ten in recycling cardboard, with .886 pounds gathered per person. That total is 68th in the nation.
While UNL should be happy with the initial result, campus recycling coordinators Prabhakar “Prabs” Shrestha and Jeff Henson said faculty, staff and students should continue to push for more recycling.
“Remember, this is an eight week competition and we have just started,” Henson said. “It is important to continue to recycle when you can and to encourage your friends and co-workers to do the same.”
The competition runs through March 31.
