Meany Center for the Performing Arts is now among the majority of buildings on campus that participate in MiniMax, a waste reduction program sponsored and facilitated by UW Recycling. It is through this program that UW Recycling works toward reaching its goal of 70% waste diversion by the year 2020.

Faculty, staff, students and the patrons that the Meany Center hosts now have the opportunity to support sustainable choices in how they sort their waste.
