TFC Recycling Partners with CNU for Recycle Fest

Five-day event held to create awareness and expand university’s recycling program.

 

Christopher Newport University, Newport News, Va., and TFC Recycling of Chesapeake, Va., partnered to expand the university’s recycling program with a five-day Recycle Fest event, which began on Jan. 29 and ended on Feb. 2.

 

Throughout the week, clubs and organizations signed up to help create awareness of the importance of recycling. The highlight of Friday’s events, “Represent with Recyclables,” was a sculpting competition using recyclable materials. Students from 11 clubs and organizations sculpted creations onsite, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. TFC awarded cash prizes for the first, second and third place winners.

 

TFC Recycling initiated its Green Team partnerships with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools in 2006, placing recycling bins in every classroom. “We are very pleased to be partnering with CNU to expand its recycling, campus wide, with such enthusiasm and purpose demonstrated by the students,” says Michael Benedetto, vice president of TFC.
