Zero Waste Game Day

Jerry Richardson Stadium is a zero waste facility, so we sort materials differently than you would at home. At football games, cups, tubs, and bottles and cans are collected for recycling, while all food waste and paper packaging goes to a compost facility. Volunteers and university staff work together to sort these materials to ensure they are directed to the correct facility.
By placing materials in the correct bins, you help us achieve our zero waste goal!
