Green Game Tailgate

During the Sun Devils' annual Green Game on Saturday, Sept. 25, help ASU stay green and ‘think before you throw’ by making sure you place waste items in the proper bin. Be sure to follow these easy sustainability tips each and every game, like:
  • Ditching disposables – i.e. paper plates and plastic cutlery, and look for products you can reuse at each tailgate
  • Buy in bulk- to reduce plastic consumption
  • Recycle properly - aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and aluminum foil is recyclable, just be sure to ball the foil up
    • Please do not put soft plastics, like plastic bags, in the recycling bins
  • Grill - use electric starter instead of charcoal, or natural gas grill instead of charcoal
  • Choose sustainable transportation- Sun Devil Stadium now has more bicycle parking and remains easily accessible via Valley Metro buses, neighborhood circulator shuttles and light rail, or carpool with your friends!  
  • Sort your waste- into landfill and recycling
    • Bag it - Pro Em, Parking & Transit staff, and Zero Waste staff have bags for recycling available in your tailgating zone if needed
    • ASU staff will then pick up the bagged waste if left in the tailgating spot
