Coming to a School Near You This Fall
Register by October 10, 2011
 Recycle-Bowl is a free, friendly competition and benchmarking tool for K-12 school recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities. School recycling programs across the nation compete in a race to collect the most recyclables from October 17 - November 12, 2011.
Whether a school has an extensive recycling program or one classroom is just launching basic recycling collections, Recycle-Bowl is an excellent way for teachers, student green teams and facility managers to engage their school community in a fun and friendly way.
The competition is open to all elementary, middle and high schools and individual classrooms. Public, private and charter schools are eligible. Recycle-Bowl participants will track and report how much material they collect during the four-week competition timeframe. School-wide competitions may compete for national prizes.
One school in each state, that collects the most recyclable material per capita, will win $1,000. A national champion will then be chosen from the top 50 statewide winners to receive a grand prize of $2,500. Schools that host a community recycling drop-off program will compete in a separate category for first, second- and third- place cash prizes.
