The Lantern recently featured Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) in an article detailing the crews who spend each Sunday cleaning the 'Shoe after home game days.
Over 350,000 pounds of waste materials were gathered in 2024, according to Logan Gould, zero waste coordinator for FOD.
The athletics department works closely with FOD on Ohio State's zero-waste goals. Thompson said they work "hand in hand" to sort cans and materials and coordinate with Rumpke, a waste removal company, to move items to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for sorting.
