In the past two years more than 36,000 pounds of bottles and cans were recycled at home football games through West Virginia University's Mountaineers Recycle Program. These recycling efforts saved 132 trees, 195,000 kilowatt-hours, 9,000 gallons of oil, 7,800 gallons of gasoline and prevented the equivalent of 68 metric tons of carbon dioxide from being released.
