Recycling for Mississippi State University Athletics Facilities, Locker Rooms, and Training Rooms


We, the athletic body, implore the Athletic committee to have maintenance place recycling bins for plastics in our athletic locker rooms and training rooms. As of right now, we throw away all our plastic propel bottles and more leading to incredible waste. By having an option inside our facilities, we will have easier access to be able to recycle correctly. Mississippi State is ranked last in the SEC in recycling and we as the athletic body want to be the beginning steps in one day being a zero-waste campus. As athletes we are told to be role models and see this as a great way to be a role model to the campus in a new way. This can be a learning experience for all of athletics to work on changing the world. We write this in hopes that each facility can have a recycling bin in their locker room and in the training room where the most plastic is thrown away.
