University’s zero waste initiative expands to Halton Arena

The Zero Waste Program, a collaborative initiative between the Sustainability Office and Recycling, is expanding to include Halton Arena at three pilot basketball games. The first game was Jan. 11 and the remaining two games are Jan. 27 and Feb. 2.

At each game, fans can connect with staff and volunteers at an informational booth located near concessions. The booth will include an interactive game teaching diversion practices about recycling, composting and sending items to a landfill.

UNC Charlotte has focused on zero waste for several years. Since its inception, Jerry Richardson Stadium has been zero waste with great success in reducing landfill usage. UNC Charlotte’s goal is to achieve the same success with Halton Arena.
