A brief description of the campaign(s):
Miami was a founding member of the Recyclemania recycling competition. In recent years Miami has competed in the per capita classic measuring weights of recycleables per capita. We promote the campaign through a variety of media, including via our Eco-Reps program, and measure before and after weights per residence hall and educational building. We conduct regular educational campaigns during the competition, provide updates on leading buildings/halls, and announce and reward the buildings at the end of the competition.
