Join The National Recycling Coalition

College and University Recycling Council

The College and University Recycling Council (CURC) was formed in 1992 and became a technical council of the National Recycling Coalition in 1995. CURC is a network of campus-based recycling professionals who face similar challenges and opportunities in managing college and university programs.

 

RecycleMania Registration Open

Registration is open through January 15 for colleges and universities to register for the 2009 RecycleMania competition. Each the 10-week period from mid-January through late-March, schools compete in multiple categories measuring everything from highest per capita recycling to overall diversion rate and waste minimization. Schools report measurements on a weekly basis in pounds recycled per student living on campus. The RecycleMania event provides students with a fun, proactive activity in waste reduction. CURC is proud to be a sponsor of  RecycleMania. More details about the competition can be found here.
