During the 4-week Recycle Challenge, schools compete for Bin Points by "recycling right" - improving recycling compliance rates and decreasing contamination.*

*Bonus Points for additional waste reduction efforts such as composting or paperless communications. Weekly bin surveys provide instant feedback on your recycling efforts - no weighing required!

Take the Challenge!

Note: Green Schools Alliance is taking a short break from administering the Green Cup Challenge to focus efforts on START: Sustainability Tracking and Roadmap Tool.

In the meantime, we encourage GSA members to use the instructions and worksheet templates in the GSA Community to run the competition internally or with neighboring schools!
