Resource Recycling Magazine: Recycle Bowl kicks off

Recycle Bowl kicks off By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling September 22, 2015 For the fifth year in a row, Keep America Beautiful is hosting a national competition to see which K-12 school can recycle the most. Registration for the annual four-week showdown known as Recycle Bowl has begun. Public and privates schools can register until Oct. 13 at the event website. Recycle Bowl 2015 will run from Oct. 19 to Nov. 15, wrapping up on America Recycles Day. Last year's competition, which featured nearly 1,500 schools, led to the recycling of more than 2,200 tons of recyclables. Schools participating in the event recycle 10 percent more than those who stay on the sidelines, Keep America Beautiful statistics indicate. "Through this fun competition, we’re providing students, teachers and administrators across the country with an opportunity to learn more about the economic and environmental benefits of recycling, and inspire their families to take similar actions both at home and on the go," said Jennifer Jehn, Keep America Beautiful's CEO and president.
