Zero Waste Football
What is Zero Waste?
Zero Waste refers to diverting 90% or more of waste materials from the landfill. This can be accomplished through recycling, composting, and donating materials when possible. Sometimes, there are a few items that we are unable to recycle, compost, or donate, which is why this is considered a Zero Waste effort to divert the most waste from the landfill as possible.
What is CCU doing for Zero Waste?
CCU’s Zero Waste efforts will help decrease its overall waste from every home football game. Waste will be either recycled, composted, or donated during the game. With Zero Waste Stations throughout the stadium and in designated tailgate areas, you will be able help support our efforts in making the game a Zero Waste success. Zero Waste team members will be available at each station to assist and educate about these efforts.
