1st campaign
Knights Go Green Recycle Challenge
A brief description of the campaign:
The Student Governments of UCF and USF hosted a recycling competition to see which of the two universities collected the most plastic bottles and aluminum cans in their Coca Cola Reverse Recycling Machines (RVMs) during the month of April 2023. The campaign was targeted at both students and faculty, using the school’s competitive spirit to encourage recycling behaviors on campus and raise awareness about the locations and purposes of the RVMs on campus.
