America Recycles Day is annually held on November 15. It is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Communities across Florida have participated in America Recycles Day to promote environmental citizenship and pledge to be better environmental stewards.
Florida Recycles Day is annually held at the Florida Capitol and is hosted by the Florida Recycling Partnership. During the event held on January 11, 2017, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection presented five Recycling Recognition Awards to Desoto Trail Elementary School, Northrop Grumman and Skanska USA.
Keep America Beautiful hosts Recycle-Bowl, a nationwide recycling competition for elementary-, middle- and high-school students. Recycle-Bowl provides students with a fun, interactive way to learn about waste reduction and environmental responsibility through in-school recycling.
Game Day Challenge is a friendly competition for colleges and universities to promote waste reduction at their football games. During the challenge, colleges and universities implement waste reduction prhttp://gamedaychallenge.org/ograms during home football games.
