This is a campus community event to clean up solid waste on the campus property that comes in through anthropogenic sources as well as being carried in by wind, flood waters, etc. We focus on the main roadsides of campus, Turkey Creek riparian zone and our native tall grass prairie.
Sign-up for campus teams is typically sent out early March.
Reducing, reusing, and recycling solid wastes can help you, your community, and the environment by saving money, energy, and natural resources.
This annual competition, for middle and high school students, focuses on the theme of reduce, reuse, recycle. Students compete in the area of an informational poster, art project or product with a focus on the theme.
