UM Goes Green

It looks like Mother nature had other ideas for this years Earth Day Festival. The events were cancelled due to inclement weather.
Despite the rain, The University of Montevallo students still found ways to get involved with the improvement and preservation of our environment.

UM has teamed up with the recycling center of Montevallo to give students and staff the University the opportunity to help give back and better the Earth.

  The Recycling Center of Montevallo located of of Spring Creek road can't be missed. Its gorgeously painted murals can be seen from the road. The center accepts paper, plastic bottles, glass, aluminum cans, and even scrap metal and old textbooks. 

Haley Myers, a sophomore at the University of Montevallo, says that recycling is the key to restoring and preserving our environment. " Recycling should be something you enforce in your day to day life. We are so used to using something once and then be done with it."
