FSU Campus Participates in RecycleMania

S.T.A.N.D. (Students Taking Action in Nature's Defense) along with faculty and staff are bringing RecyleMania to the Fairmont State University campus.

RecycleMania is a national collegiate contest that aims to raise awareness about waste reduction and recycling. The program has been very successful during its seven-year lifespan. In 2006, 18.6 million pounds of recyclables were collected from 93 schools across the country. This is the first year any West Virginia schools have participated. The 10-week contest began Sunday, Jan. 28, and runs until Friday, April 6.

The FSU library has been designated as RecycleMania headquarters. Plastic bottles and white paper will be collected on each floor of the library. S.T.A.N.D. asks that the campus uses the appropriate collection bins, which are located in the library next to the printers on the ground floor and first floor and near the vending machines.
