Who Dat Recycling?
Coca Cola’s traveling Recycling Education Vehicle will visit the Tulane campus on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, encouraging students to recycle in the midst of Mardi Gras. The vehicle will be parked between Irby House and Bruff Commons from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. There will be rewards for recyclers who bring bottle and cans and information about Tulane’s recycling system and RecycleMania competition. A count will be kept all day of the number of bottles and cans brought in by students, staff and faculty from the Superbowl and Mardi Gras weekend.
The visit is part of a year-long collaboration between Coke and Tulane to expand campus recycling and ultimately recycle every bottle sold on campus. Recycling bins added to athletic venues this year were provided by Coke, fashioned from barrels that the company uses to ship syrup. With Coke’s assistance, bottle and can recycling on campus increased an estimated 35% between 2008 and 2009, with 31 tons of plastic bottles and aluminum cans recycled in 2009.
Tulane’s uptown campus is in the midst of RecycleMania, a 10 week recycling competition between college and universities. For more information on RecycleMania and recycling at Tulane, visit Recycle.tulane.edu
