How will your university SPECIFICALLY measure the recyclables? Will you use volume based or actual weight measurements?:

University of Arizona will use actual weight measurements. Materials will be bagged and tagged at all residence halls. The bags will then be taken to Campus Recycling where they will be weighed and totals recorded per hall. Weekly weight reports will be provided to the residence halls for their competition and combined weekly totals will be reported to Recycle mania based on pounds per student/resident. According to Housing Assignments there are 5,121 students living on-campus as of January 11th, 2004.
