Stadium Recycling!


Waste Management Services recycles cardboard and other recyclables collected from vendors at the Stadium during games. You'll be surprised what happens when Wolverines Recycle!

Pop and water bottles are also collected at the Stadium each game. Most people don't realize that when they recycle beverage containers that energy and water is saved by not using raw materials or energy to produce new products. Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic beverage bottles every hour...don't be one of them!

Game Day Recycling Play-by-Play

On September 15th, the University of Michigan played UMass. It was the second home game of the year with 110,708 fans in attendance. At the game, with the help of Michigan fans and vendors, we recycled 26 percent of the waste from the game and kept this material from going to the landfill. We handled 5.33 tons of recyclables!
.....We even got a quick snap of Denard Robinson heading towards the blue Recycling bins!
