For example, did you know that Oregon&#8217;s recycling rate is 44% higher than the national average? Or that Corvallis was the first city in the state to have a curbside recycling program? How about that OSU&#8217;s recycling program is over 40 years old?<\/p>\n<p>Recycling is a part of our heritage as Beavers, but we can also be doing better.
