Recycling Center shares 2019 move-out results
K-State had another great move-out recycling campaign for 2019. During this year's move-out period, students recycled more than 2,501 pounds of bedding and clothes. All bedding went to the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter in Manhattan. All 675 pounds of food was donated to Cats' Cupboard for student use. We had an overall increase in recycling from the 2018 results and a slight increase in refuse. The Recycling Center thanks the Housing and Dining Services staff, recycling staff and students.
