To celebrate America Recycles Day, OSU wants to help you recycle your hard-to-recycle items! Our special recycling collection event will be held on Thursday, November 15 at 12:00 – 4:00 PM in the Memorial Union Brick Mall.

What is Accepted:

Bring any of the following items to this event for FREE recycling:

Styrofoam – rigid blocks, bendable blocks, wraps/sheets. (NO: food packaging (cups, plates, trays, egg cartons), expanding foam (insulation, sealant))
Packing peanuts – plastic or biodegradable
Film plastics – clean bags, wrap, etc. (NO: mylar (shiny silver), food contamination)

A community member drops off items for recycling at last year's special collection event.

Event Details:

Both departmental and personal items will be accepted. Volunteers will be present to help you sort and answer your questions about recycling both at the event and year-round.

Whether or not you have items to recycle, drop by to write a message in a bottle, add it to our bottle igloo, and you will win a reusable water bottle!

We will be located in the south end of the MU Brick Mall, near the MU Bookstore, on Thursday, November 15 at 12:00 – 4:00 PM. If you have large items to haul via a vehicle, you can access the area heading west on Jefferson and turning right into the MU Parking Lot. Our volunteers will help you unload your items.
