Williams is participating in RecycleMania, a friendly competition among colleges and universities to see who can reduce, reuse and recycle the most. During the ten week competition, each participating school will measure its recycleables and trash, and compete to see who can collect:

• the largest amount of recyclables per capita,
• the largest amount of total recyclables,
• the least amount of trash per capita,
• or have the highest recycling rate.

The competition stars on January 18, and will run through March 28.

Williams College Facilities will measure its recycleables and trash every week. Check back to see how Williams is doing.

What you can do:

Reduce the amount of trash you create:

• Use your CUPPS cup.


• Use your own cloth towel in your dorm bathroom rather than paper towels.


• Make sure that you know where you are sending a document to print, and check to see that the printer is online. Otherwise you may unintentionally print multiple copies of your document.


• Print double sided. See the Office of Information Technology's website forinformation on setting your printer to duplex printing and a list ofpublic printers, including those that print double-sided.


• Use a re-usable water bottle instead of buying bottled water.


• If you eat in your dorm, use real silverware and dishes instead of disposable ones.


• Remove your name from the mailing list for any catalogs you don't want to receive.


• Avoid buying disposable items.
