Recyclemania

Over 400 U.S. colleges & universities compete in RecycleMania to see which recycles and minimizes the most waste. For the past three years, Connecticut College has emerged as one of the leaders nationwide for its recycling efforts.

In 2008, the College finished eighth in both the "Grand Champion" portion of the competition, which measures the percentage of the total amount of solid waste recycled on each campus, and in the "Per Capita Classic," which measures the total amount of recyclables collected per person. Connecticut College finished first among peers in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), beating rivals Amherst, Williams, Tufts, Middlebury, Bowdoin and Colby. Connecticut College also edged out Yale, Princeton and Harvard.

In 2007, we were in the top 25 out of 200 colleges and universities.

In 2006, we came in 5th place out of 87 colleges!
