The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority is again helping Penn State football fans Recycle Right at upcoming games.

It is easy for fans to recycle at upcoming football tailgates. Once settled in at tailgate locations, fans are encouraged to grab a blue bag for recycling and a clear bag for trash. Bag dispensers are found in every tailgating field and parking lot.

Blue bags are for recyclables and limited to plastic and glass bottles and metal cans. Everything else should be placed in clear trash bags. Full bags should be secured closed and left at each tailgate spot for Physical Plant crews to collect the morning after each home game. 

Clear bags go to the landfill, while the blue bags are delivered to the Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority for sorting and recycling. 

Remember: Blue bags are for bottles and cans only – Clear bags are for trash.

Fans are asked to leave their tailgate area cleaner than it was found. The fields are multi-use by students, faculty, staff, visitors, as well as agriculture. It is integral for the safety of all users that the fields are clean of debris.

The CCRRA thanks all fans for their efforts in sorting their trash and recycling, and keeping their tailgate areas clean.
