Participate in 2019 RecycleMania!
RecycleMania is a nationwide friendly competition for colleges and universities to promote recycling and waste reduction across their campuses and communities. William & Mary is participating in RecycleMania again this year to see how the campus stacks up against other colleges in terms of the pounds of waste, recycling, and compost produced over the course of 8 weeks. Last year, the electronics recycling event that was hosted during the competition collected a total of 2,874 pounds of electronics. We are hoping to have another successful electronics recycling event this March!
