Keep America Beautiful, Inc., recently announced the launch of “Recycle-Bowl,” a comprehensive nationwide recycling competition designed for elementary, middle, and high school students. Recycle-Bowl was designed to provide students with a fun, interactive way to learn about waste reduction and environmental responsibility through in-school recycling.
Open to all U.S. schools and classrooms, the incentive-based recycling competition and benchmarking program begins in October; registration is currently open on the Recycle-Bowl website at http://recycle-bowl.org. The competition runs from 17 October through 12 November, culminating around America Recycles Day. Participating schools are to track and report how much recyclable material they collect for a chance to win prizes. At the close of the four-week competition, the school in each state that collects the most recyclable material per capita will win $1,000. A national champion will then be chosen from among the statewide winners to receive an additional grand prize of $2,500.
Educational recycling activities will be provided online and through a registration toolkit. The inaugural Recycle-Bowl is being sponsored by Nestlé Waters North America.
