Saturday, Oct 24th – Friday, Oct 30th

Compete with a friend to produce as little trash as possible over the course of a week. At the end of the competition, your trash will be weighed and the teams with the least trash will receive prizes donated by local businesses.

Rules:

  • You must carry all of your trash with you at all times
  • Anything that would go to the landfill is considered trash
  • You do not have to carry hazardous materials
  • Recyclable and compostable materials don’t count as trash if you recycle or compost them
  • The competition begins at 12:00 AM, Saturday October 24th and ends at 6:30 on Friday October 30st

What to do if you want to participate:

  • Form a team of two and send your team name and roster to Jeffrey.gluckstein@students.olin.edu
  • Find a suitable container for your trash before Saturday
  • Get ready to reduce your waste

If you have any questions or comments, send them to Jef Gluckstein. Though personal trash is just a small part of the waste stream, it is a flow that we can easily reduce.
