McNary Hall Declared Residence Hall Winner!

McNary Hall was declared the RecycleMania Res Hall Winner, which they earned by having the smallest percentage of recyclables in their dumpster. The hall won a game night for their hall, plus a trophy made out of reused materials.

Campus Recycling staff and volunteers audited the contents of a dumpster from each hall March 7th and 11th, sorting out recycling and weighing the results. McNary had the smallest percentage of recyclables in their dumpster and therefore took the title.
