<p>U</a>. tops Ivies in contest to lower waste - The Daily Princetonian</p>

<p>“The University is knee deep in bottles, cans and recycled paper as it enters the final month of Recyclemania, a nationwide endeavor on college campuses that encourages recycling, which this year runs from Jan. 27 to March 29. Participating schools compete in a variety of categories to maximize recycled materials. </p>

<p>“While it is unlikely that Princeton will win the competition, the main goal of the program is “just to get people aware about recycling on campus,” Recyclemania manager and EcoRep member Wesley Loo ’10 said.</p>

<p>“Though the University is in 21st place in the Grand Champion category overall, it is winning among Ivy League schools. Harvard currently holds second place in the Ivies with a recycling rate of 28.36 percent, and Yale follows with 18.86 percent. Kalamazoo College, leading all participating schools, has a recycling rate of 54.69 percent.</p>
