K-State recycling move-out results
Kansas State University had a great move-out recycling campaign for 2022.
During this year's move-out period, students recycled more than 1,573 pounds of bedding and clothes. All bedding went to the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter in Manhattan.
All 274 pounds of food were donated to Cats' Cupboard for student use. The Recycling Center thanks Housing and Dining Services staff members for their great cooperation in this event.
Below are the 2022 move-out recycling numbers. Data was not reported for 2020 because of the pandemic.
