Kent State University students, faculty and staff are encouraged to bring their own reusable mug or water bottle to campus for “Mugshots,” the RecycleMania competition for the week of Feb. 15-21. Enter to win prizes by telling or sharing photos of how you used your mug or water bottle with Kent State’s Office of Sustainability.

Students should use #KSURecycles on Twitter or Instagram or email lgraha13@kent.edu. Faculty and staff can email lgraha13@kent.edu or use both #KSUrecycles and #OfficeRM on Twitter or Instagram and mention their department or building. The office with the most submissions wins a prize and bragging rights.

Reusable mugs and water bottles divert thousands of pounds of waste from landfills, protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. In case you forget your mug, all paper to-go cups on campus are recyclable, including the plastic lid with a “#1-#7” on top and the cardboard sleeve.

RecycleMania is a competition for college and university recycling programs that help to promote waste reduction activities in their campus communities. The competition started Feb. 1 and runs for eight weeks. Colleges report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week and are then ranked based on various categories.
