The University of Maryland has been participating in Recyclemania ---an annual 10-week, recycling and waste reduction competition among colleges and universities nationwide since 2007. 

Each year TERPS see an increased effort in recycling across campus. 

How Recyclemania works:

Each week during the competition, we report our recyclables and waste weights and Recyclemania calculates our standing in the competition relative to our enrollment, resident student population, and number of staff. Weekly ratings are publicized to the campus community throughout the competition at on this web site, through other venues on campus, and at www.recyclemaniacs.org
