Since 2010, AEG venues have hosted various recycling events to celebrate America Recycles Day. Venues have placed a special emphasis on e-waste to help educate patrons on the importance of e-waste recycling to ensure no electronics are sent to landfills. In 2012, 22 AEG venues hosted recycling events which resulted in five public e-waste collection events and the collection of over six tons of recycled materials as well as education and outreach to over 500,000 people. Through programs like America Recycles Day, BBVA Compass Stadium aims to educate patrons and engage partners in on-going community sustainability initiatives.
