This year, we are excited to have nearly 30 elementary schools and academies competing to collect the most recycling items. Weigh-ins occur weekly and are updated here the following Tuesday.

How We Rank the Schools:

• First, we see who collects the most recycling.  We rank the schools from the one that collected the most to the least.
• Then, we check how much each school collected based on the number of students. To be fair, we look at the total recycling for each school and divide it by the number of students. This way, smaller schools can still do well, even if they don’t have as many students.

Points are Assigned:

• Pointes are assigned based on their position in both rankings. 
  • For example, if a school finishes 1st in total pounds, it gets 33 points, 2nd gets 32 points, and so on.
  •  This also applies to the ranking for pounds per student.

Winners are considered the best-performing school overall, based on the school with the highest combined score.
