Week One Recap

Week one officially wrapped for the 2016 RecycleMania Competition.

Overall, University Housing recycled nearly 1,000 pounds with 45 pounds of contamination.

Other highlights of the week include Pomfret Hall winning an extra 50 pounds for using #uarkgreen to win the weekly post the most challenge, and, even though they are not in the competition, the University Housing Administration Building recycled 32 pounds.

Special shoutout to Ashley Jackson of Pomfret Hall for the great tweet of the week!

Let the recycling games begin! Even if you don’t live on campus do your part to recycle! #UARKGreen #pomfrethall https://t.co/OvgR2QT9jU
