The real-time ranking for Week 1 of the 2026 Campus Race to Zero Waste competition will be available on Monday, February 16, 2026. Weekly rankings will be available each Monday during the competition (starting on 2/16/26) for the main categories only; the final results of the special categories will be posted after the close of the competition. 

If campus participants submit their weekly data reports past the deadline, your data will not be included in the weekly ranking. The CR2ZW team will analyze all data reports submitted after the deadlines for Weeks 1 - 3, during Week 4 of the competition, and update the ranking with the complete data that has been submitted to date. If campus participants regularly submit data past the deadline they will not be included in the weekly rankings, however, this will not impact the final results of the competition as long as all weekly waste data is submitted by the final deadline, April 13. 2026.
