Congrats Beavers - we won the most recent Campus Race to Zero Waste Oregon Classic, in 2020! The final score was 9.90 to 6.30 pounds recycled per person, allowing OSU to keep the title, the bragging rights and the trophy another year! An estimated 273,709 pounds were recycled over the eight weeks of the competition. (The name of the competition was changed from "RecycleMania" to Campus Race to Zero Waste in the summer of 2020.)
Since starting the Oregon Classic in 2010, OSU has won seven times (2010-2012, 2015 and 2018-2020) compared to UO’s four (2013-2014 and 2016-2017).
