The tallies are in and, for the 2014 football season, more than 25 tons of recyclable materials collected during Georgia Tech’s six home games were diverted from landfills, setting a new record for the Institute’s Game Day Recycling Program.
The diverted materials were collected inside Bobby Dodd Stadium and at tailgating areas around campus.
“This has been our breakthrough year for collaboration with everyone across campus: from the fans, to Sodexo [food services], to the Athletic Association,” said Cindy Jackson, associate director, Solid Waste Management & Recycling.
