The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority Tuesday reported fans at Penn State's first home game of the season recycled over 6 tons of plastic and glass bottles and 2.5 tons of steel and aluminum cans in tailgating areas near the stadium.

The Authority and Penn State University are making it easy to Recycle Right at home games by using blue bags for recycling and clear bags for trash.

Blue bags are for plastic and glass bottles and metal cans. Everything else should be placed in clear trash bags.

The Authority and University are asking fans to leave their tailgate area cleaner than they found it.

The fields are multi-use by students, faculty, staff, visitors, as well as agriculture. It is integral for the safety of all users that the fields are clean of debris.
