These tips help you save money on tailgates and reduce your impact on the environment! Zero waste volunteers will be available to educate and provide assistance in recycling practices.

  • Bring reusable dishware, cups and silverware to avoid disposable products.
  • If reusable isn’t an option, choose disposable items made from plant based materials rather than plastics.
  • Recycle any plastic or glass bottles and aluminum cans.
  • Supply your tailgate with food and drink from local businesses.
  • Tweet us @OhioStSustain a picture of your #OSUZeroWaste tailgate.
