Zero Waste Event at State Farm Center
Associated Project(s):“Zero Waste” is a common term that refers to the desired outcome rather than any expectation. The goal of the Zero Waste Event at State Farm Center as stated to the SSC was to change to the habits of fans, starting with a single basketball game as part of the national Recyclemania competition. The desired outcome is for the State Farm Center to move from a single bin system to dual bin system. The new system will be accompanied with new signage for clarification.
Results are In!
Associated Project(s):I just want to let you know that the RecycleMania Game Day results have been released. Here is the overview:
Game Day Results
Associated Project(s):On February 26, 2014 over 100 volunteers collaborated in a competition at a U of I basketball game to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. Isolated waste bins were changed into recycling stations with new signs for landfill and recycling. Fans were educated by volunteers about which bin to use. After the game, participants collected and recycled as much as possible. Landfilled and recycled materials were weighed and recorded to indicate a diversion rate of 31.5%.

Recyclemania kicks off Feb. 26
A friendly recycling competition will take place during the Illinois-Nebraska basketball game Feb. 26 at State Farm Center. Fans can compete against other schools around the country by recycling with the goal of a “zero waste basketball game.”
Zero Waste Basketball Game!
Associated Project(s):DIA, SSC, iSEE, F&S, and SECS are collaborating to facilitate the University's first Recyclemania event. On February 26th in the State Farm Center, as the Illini battle the Nebraska Cornhuskers, waste conscious volunteers will be competing against other institutions to recycle as much as possible. After the game all landfill material and recycled material will be weighed to calculate a diversion rate. The results will be posted on the Recyclemania website.
