Zero Waste is a campus-wide effort to reduce what goes into the landfill through purchasing decisions, recycling, and composting efforts. Look for the black (landfill), blue (recycling), and green (compost) bins on campus and do your part to help Appalachian achieve Zero Waste goals. Be sure to look for the Zero Waste zones at Mountaineer football games!

The Free Store is a place where you can come shop for clothes, school supplies, and things for your room or apartment, and donate gently used items as well.
