Stephen K Gaski Per Capita Classic

The Per Capita Classic is the traditional RecycleMania competition format in which schools compete to see who can collect the most combined recyclables. This competition involves the most basic format, and should be the easiest to carry out for most universities.

To participate in the Per Capita Classic, schools report their total weights for paper, cardboard and beverage containers (Click to see the definitions of acceptable materials). Schools may either report these materials separately or as co-mingled weights.

RecycleMania will calculate your results using the following equation:

The Per Capita Classic is named in honor of Steve Gaski of Miami University. Steve was an early supporter of RecycleMania at its founding in 2001. Whole School Division participants compete for the coveted RecycleMania trophy originally constructed by a local artist from Carpenter, Ohio during the inaugural RecycleMania in 2001. The Whole School Division winner of the Per Capita Classic will receive the statues to display for one year until following year’s winner is determined. Winners of the Per Capita Classic in both divisions will additionally receive permanent awards they keep to recognize their accomplishments.
