DURHAM, N.C. – Members of the Duke football program spent part of Wednesday evening teaming with the university’s Sanitation and Recycling department in support of the Zero Waste Game Day initiative. The Blue Devils used 15,000 bags to make 5,000 game day zero waste packets for distribution this fall.
The packets consisted of a trash bag, recycling bag and compost bag with an informational flyer detailing the program. The packets will be distributed by volunteers during home games this fall to educate tailgaters on proper waste sorting technique and contribute to a culture of sustainability on game days.
