Please Recycle
Help keep the Grove clean and green this football season by recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Recycling bins will be located throughout the Grove and inside the stadium. Recycling bags for your tent are available at dispensers located in front of the Union and in the Circle. Remember to recycle plastic and aluminum only – one piece of food costs an entire bag of recyclables. Ole Miss thanks you for your support. For more information, click here.
