 What is the RecycleTrivia Raffle?
The RecycleTrivia Raffle is a quarterly contest that will reward SCU residents for recycling and properly disposing of their waste on campus. There will be four raffles throughout the school year (one per quarter, with the exception of spring quarter, which will have two raffles).

When is the RecycleTrivia Raffle?
The weeks in which the contest will occur as follows: - Fall Quarter: October 22, 2007 – October 26, 2007
(during Sustainability Week)
- Winter Quarter: February 18, 2008 – February 22, 2007

Each contest week will last from 8:00am on Monday to 5:00pm the following Friday. Residents may submit their filled out raffle ticket to their residence hall collection box anytime during the contest week. The trivia question may be communicated to students through a number of different ways during that particular week, including e-mail and signs. A winner will be chosen and announced the Monday after the week of the contest.

How do I enter the raffle?
This year, the raffle is only open to CAMPUS RESIDENTS. To enter the raffle, residents must fill out the appropriate raffle ticket from their recycling magnet, complete with the correct answer to the posted trivia question. Each trivia question will be about recycling, and the answers can be found in the new signs posted in the recycling and waste areas around campus.
If you live on campus but did not receive a magent, contact recycling@scu.edu
-
What is the purpose of the RecycleTrivia Raffle?
- The magnet and raffle have been designed together to instruct residents on proper recycling and waste disposal on campus, educate residents about the recycling process, and encourage them to actively participate in recycling on campus.
- Working towards these goals will help the University to reach its longer-term goals of reducing the University’s waste and increasing its recycling rate.
-
How does the Recycle Trivia Raffle Work?
- Campus residents have been given an informative magnet showing what kinds of materials can be recycled on campus and where these materials go. There are four raffle tickets at the bottom of each magnet (one for each of the contests).
- Once the trivia question has been announced, residents may look for the answer in the signs posted in the recycling and waste areas, Sustainability Updates, and the webpage for the SCU facebook group “scu recycles.”
- Between the Monday and Friday of the contest, residents should fill out the appropriate raffle ticket (each of them is dated to correlate with the week of the raffle) with their name, e-mail address, and trivia answer. The filled out raffle tickets should be placed in labeled collection boxes and jars, which will be placed at each residence hall’s service desk. The collection jars and boxes will be collected on the last day of the contest (Friday) at 5:00pm. All of the tickets will be put in the same container, and a first, second, and third place winner will be pulled. The resident whose ticket is chosen will only win if he has written the correct answer to the trivia question on the ticket.
