MU's push for zero waste

Hot dogs, nachos, pizza, burgers and beer are as common at a Missouri football game as tailgates and country music.

The typical fan will order one or several of those items at Memorial Stadium on gameday. When they are done with their food or beverage, they will try to find the nearest trash can to throw it in before they return to their seat to continue watching the game. They may also just put the trash behind their feet because they know it will be cleaned up after the game.

What the typical fan might not know is that this is only the beginning of the journey for the piece of trash they just threw out or left.
