As Penn State gears up for a new football season this weekend, the school is reminding fans to be mindful of their tailgate areas and practices.

The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority is urging tailgaters to sort their recycling and trash to keep the area clean. The school is setting up blue bags for recycling and clear bags for trash throughout the tailgating field and stadium parking lot.

Full bags should be tied and left at the tailgate spot for Penn State staff and volunteers to pick up on Sunday morning.
