RecycleMania, Inc is a not for profit organization based in the United States that sponsors a competition between colleges and universities with the purpose of increasing recycling by students and employees on campuses. 

History
The RecycleMania competition began in 2001 when Miami University of Ohio and Ohio University recycling coordinators decided to increase recycling on their campuses by motivating the people at their schools through a contest to see who collected the most recyclable waste. The first year Miami University won by collecting 41.2 lbs/person compared to 32.6 lbs/person by Ohio. 

RecycleMania is now a not for profit organization which is governed by a steering committee made up of recycling managers from participating universities.
