January 27-April 5, 2008
The 2008 Recyclemania competition has come to an end. The UConn Huskies had a great rookie year, particularly in the Gorilla Prize division. As UConn's recycling rate continues to increase the Huskies are in a position to be a top competitor in 2009. Goals for next year include participating in the waste minimization category and improving our per capita recycling rate.
Training for 2009 has officially started. Be sure to see the links below for reviewing UConn's recycling guidelines and to see the official 2008 Recyclemania standings.
