Wyoming Area Secondary Center has entered into a month-long recycling competition called GreenSylvania. GreenSylvania, being held in October, is a state wide recycling competition sponsored by the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania (PROP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Region III), and Keep America Beautiful.
Wyoming Area students and staff, along with the assistance of Exeter Borough Multi-Municipal Recycling Program, will collect and weigh all paper recyclables and report the results weekly to PROP. Rankings will be available on .
Students, staff and faculty will participate in this competition to see which school can recycle the most paper per capita, during the month of October. The school that recycles the most at the end of the competition will be awarded the traveling trophy.
GreenSylvania is intended to assist schools during the implementation and/or enhancement of their recycling program and waste stream reduction efforts, and to generate enthusiasm among students and teachers for recycling at school, at home and at special events.
Wyoming Area Secondary Center currently recycles all paper products including office paper, newspaper and corrugated cardboard.
