Introducing: Go Green rewards!

By shopping at the Surplus Store and using the Public Drop-off Center, you guys are supporting our reuse, repurposing, and recycling efforts at an incredible rate. With your help, last year MSU Surplus Store & Recycling diverted at least 10 million pounds of items and materials from the landfill. We think that's a big deal, and we want to give something back to those of you who helped.

You may have noticed that we've already started giving away prizes... we've been handing out MSU Dairy Store ice cream coupons at the Drop-off Center on busy days, we asked for Before and After photos two weeks ago, and many of you have already participated in the Friday Find-it challenges. Sometime this fall, we will incorporate all of these and other opportunities (including volunteer events) into chances to earn these and other rewards, such as MSU collectibles, apparel, and exclusive on-campus experiences.

In the meantime, keep up the good work! We will continue to give out prizes until the program is officially launched, so be on the lookout for those chances weekly. Follow @MSU_Recycling on Twitter for hints regarding the days and times we'll be handing out ice cream coupons.

If you're in an MSU department that would like to get involved with the Go Green rewards program, please contact us.
