Kent State University faculty and staff can participate in
RecycleMania, an eight-week competition to promote
waste reduction activities on campus. The Kent State
office with the most participation wins the grand prize and
bragging rights.

On March 17, Kent State University’s Division of Human Resources will partner with the Office of Sustainability to host Shred Mania from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the RecycleMania competition.

Shred Mania is open to all students, faculty, staff and the Kent community. Shred Mania allows participants to recycle unwanted paper documents using a secured, onsite document destruction service. Materials permitted at Shred Mania include documents, drawings, photos, blueprints, coupons, tickets, checks, magazines, spiral notebooks, hanging folders, paper bags and brochures. It is not necessary to remove paper/binding clips or staples from your documents in order to have them shredded. However, if you are disposing off university records, please make sure you are following university retention periods and complete a record destruction request at www.kent.edu/generalcounsel/records/index.cfm prior to shredding. All shredding will take place at the Administrative Services Building loading dock.

Everyone on campus can participate in RecycleMania and Shred Mania. While students and residence halls compete during this eight-week competition, faculty and staff also can join in this competition and even enter to win weekly prizes. The office with the most participation wins the grand prize and bragging rights.
