Our current 20th place in RecycleMania is not putting us at the head of the herd so we’ve decided to chew our way to the top. We cannot continue to compete with other schools whose students do not waste a valuable feedstock by putting recycling into the correct bins.

Goats are known to eat everything, and we hear they are especially fond of pizza boxes and mid-term exams. Goats will be penned on the quad and will provide the additional benefi t of organic fertilizer and emissions free mowing.

We hope this move will keep us ranked among the top green schools in the country and make Tufts the top Billy Goat of RecycleMania.
