Greensylvania Logo The Professional Recycler’s of Pennsylvania (PROP) “GreenSylvania” program is aimed at Pennsylvania public and non-public K-12 schools. Greensylvania was modeled from the national RecycleMania competition for colleges and universities in which 48 Pennsylvania colleges and universities participated in 2009. The program assists with implementing or enhancing school recycling programs by generating enthusiasm among students, staff and faculty for recycling at school, home and special events. This is particularly significant for schools required to recycle by local ordinances.
