Join Phi Theta Kappa’s Omicron Beta Chapter (PTK OBC) for a Can Crushing Party in support of our College Project, From Awareness to Action: Reviving Recycling at MCC! 

During Earth Week in 2025 and 2026, PTK OBC, in partnership with the Center for Community & Civic Engagement and the MCC Sustainability Committee, identified opportunities to strengthen campus recycling efforts, increase awareness of sustainable practices, and engage the MCC community in taking meaningful action to reduce waste and promote environmental responsibility. As one tangible step toward this goal, the collection and recycling of aluminum cans emerged as an opportunity to reduce campus waste while generating proceeds that can be reinvested in supporting MCC students and sustainability initiatives. We invite you to join us in this effort by bringing your empty aluminum cans and helping us crush it for a cause!

Here's how you can participate:

  • Bring your empty aluminum cans!
  • Help us crush cans and support campus recycling efforts.
  • Enjoy some pizza while connecting with each other
  • Bring the most cans and win a prize! 

Every can makes a difference! Proceeds from aluminum can recycling efforts will support MCC student scholarships and our Green Student Ambassador Program.

Can you crush it? We hope to see you there!
