CU is home to one of the nation's oldest and most respected zero waste programs in the country. Volunteer at a Buffs football game with Ralphie’s Green Stampede to be a part of the excitement on game day. 

We need your help to guide fans on how to compost and recycle more effectively! Folsom Field strives for zero waste on game day, therefore our volunteers are crucial to the success of our program. Last season we had over 240 hours of volunteer service, diverting over 100,000 pounds of waste from the landfill. 

If being a part of Ralphie’s Green Stampede interests you, click here to sign up for the next game and be part of the game day action! 

Volunteers help educate fans on recycling and composting best practices, sorting recycling bins and assisting when bags are full. Volunteers will get an RGS T-shirt, access to the game and a meal voucher. No prior knowledge is required; gloves and training are provided. 

This year, Ralphie’s Green Stampede won the GameDay Football Zero Waste Touchdown Challenge for having the highest recycling per capita collected at one single game (2023).

Help keep our waste streams clean by volunteering to be a zero waste goalie at one of our upcoming games. For questions email green.stampede@colorado.edu 

Sko Buffs!
