Lookout trash! Recycle Mania competition starts Sunday

Be careful what you trash, because Recycle Mania, a competition between the nation's top colleges and universities, begins Sunday.

Recycle Mania's official kickoff on Feb. 3 will have live music and entertainment.

Top recycling dorms can win $1,000 and other prizes after April 9, when the 10-week competition ends.

Last year ASU recycled its way to victory over the Wildcats by a slight margin.
