Be sure to travel to these places safely. Traveling in the daylight and with a friend is usually safer than traveling to unfamiliar places alone.
If you're really interested in recycling, there is a group on campus called Students for Recycling that are highly involved in and knowledgeable about recycling. Feel free to check out http://recycling.org.ohio-state.edu/ for events they are hosting campus wide and for information sessions on how you can do your part.
