Sustainability Stations

Sustainability Stations are equipped with recycling bins and an informational display with environmental facts. They play a key role in educating and encouraging the university community to adopt sustainable habits. These stations help identify and promote upcoming environmental sustainability-focused events on campus, helping to increase awareness and participation in these initiatives.

Everything is recycled with the City of Fayetteville.
