The 16-quart cooler made from paraffin wax and recycled paper has a weight capacity of 75 pounds and is highly water resistant. Igloo says the RECOOL can keep ice cold for up to 12 hours while holding water for up to five days without leaking.

Let’s hope it keeps getting better and better!!

Professor Schirf here to give our PSU fans their recycling grade from the Buffalo game. It was MUCH better than week 1!! The grade for PSU vs. Buffalo is.....64% - which is the best number to date since we have been calculating the recycling from the tailgates. And since I am in a good mood today I am going to grade on a curve and give everyone a C+ in recycling for that game. Honestly, the bags are looking MUCH, MUCH better this season and I know there is a B on our horizon!!

Stay tuned, for the numbers from the Pitt game will be revealed this week as well!

We have a couple weeks to study before the next home game, so remember:

Empty Bottles & Cans in the Blue Bags
Everything else in the Clear Bags

I am also happy to report that the grounds after the game are also looking better!! Nittany Nation has given me hope!!

CCRRA 👍🏻

Recycling sounds like a good idea, but it's more expensive for several reasons, especially the waste dump that some recycling bins have become.

Getting better every year 👍🏻
Give us your feedback. Where can we do better? Are there specific problems that you saw?

Over 3,500 pounds of organics and recyclable material were collected during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, The People’s Choice Festival & Heritage Days.

Broken down by festival, the recycling numbers are as follows:

Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts – 540 pounds of plastic bottles, 120 pounds of aluminum cans, 620 pounds of mixed recyclables, 40 pounds of miscellaneous plastic, 500 pounds of corrugated cardboard and 560 pounds of organic material.

People’s Choice – 240 pounds of plastic bottles 640 pounds of corrugated cardboard.

Heritage Days – 80 pounds of plastic bottles and 60 pounds of corrugated cardboard.

In addition to recycling at local festivals, nearly 20 pounds of un-used food was donated to a local shelter.

Our local festivals keep getting “greener” each year thanks to the efforts of the Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority, State College Borough and Fest Zero (a group of Penn State Alumni, current students and concerned citizens).

We are pleased to report that the amount of trash collected at the festivals this year decreased from last, showing that recycling and waste reduction is working!

It was a great year for recycling at our local festivals. Thanks to all of the fair-goers who did the right thing! Look for recycling bins at the Grange Fair next month to help to divert even more material from our landfills.
