Recycling is not only good for the environment it’s also a fun challenge for college campuses. Baylor University took up the challenge from RecycleMania last year and managed to pull way ahead in the competition. The campus posted impressive numbers in all three recycling categories of the Per Capita Classic, Gorilla and Waste Minimization. The Per Capita Classic is to see which schools recycle the most paper, cardboard and bottles per person. Waste Minimization measures the amount of recyclables and trash collected by the university and divides it by campus population to determine the average amount of waste produced by each person. As for the Gorilla Prize, that is awarded to the school with the highest gross tonnage of recycling during the competition period.

Although entering these competitions is great for motivating the student population, the ultimate goal is to become a “zero-waste campus.” That would mean that everything that is thrown out at Baylor would find a way to be repurposed and reused. Zero-waste is a concept that many cities are trying to accomplish on a much larger scale.

All of this brings up the question, “How close are you to being a zero-waste household?” If you keep up with your kitchen recycling, then you’re actually close. As for your food scraps, turn those into compost and you could absolutely hit zero-waste. However, those goals might be upended when you need to toss out bigger pieces. Actually, junk recycling has never been easier thanks to a company like Junk King Fort Worth.
