20.3% of the 106,747 pounds was recycled

In week 2 of Recyclmania, UMBC showed its "green" spirit and tripled the percentage of trash we recycled from 6% to over 20%.

For the second week of the competition UMBC recycled over 10 tons of material!

Please remember that UMBC is now a single-stream campus for recycling, you can put your recycling in any convenient recycling container without worrying about separating.
