Recycle at Ohio University
RecycleMania 20th Anniversary!
This year, RecycleMania is celebrating their 20th anniversary! All of this started just twenty years ago when Bobcats and Red Hawks decided to use their famed rivalry and create a competition to see who could recycle the most out of an 10-week period. Over the span of twenty years, RecycleMania has grown to become more than just a competition between two schools, but a competition nation wide.
For those who are curious about who won the GameDay Recycling Challenge last semester, it was us! We successfully diverted a total of 92.9%, securing first place! Read all about it here.
No Food, No Bags, No Liquids
China recently stopped accepting plastic products from other countries, creating a global plastic crisis. Athens Hocking Recycling Center can no longer accept plastic bags and film plastics as a recycled product. In order to lessen the usage of plastic bags, Campus Recycling is asking for the public to stop using plastic bags and start bring your own bags.

Be smart and reuse, reduce, recycle.
