Grand Champion

The Grand Champion category takes a holistic look at participant's trash and recycling to determine what percentage of the total is recycled. To be ranked in this category, schools must provide their trash, paper, cardboard and cans and bottles weights. Food waste is not counted in the Grand Champion. Additional recyclable materials such as electronics, yard waste, construction and demolition recycling, etc. are not included either. The winner will have the highest recycling rate, which means that they not only have reduced trash disposal through waste prevention, but also have a strong recycling program for the acceptable materials.

RecycleMania will calculate the standings using the following equation:
