Waste and Recycling
The Goals:
- Increase waste diversion to 35% by FY 2025 from 25% in FY 2012.
- Develop a university wide waste reduction policy.
How We're Doing:
- New recycling stations were installed on campus with landfill, paper, and container bins.
- Outdoor recycling bins were installed in fall 2017.
- The university installed a commercial composter in 2015, which has been so successful that demand already exceeds capacity.
- Currently streamlining labeling across University owned and maintained buildings.
- Integrating recycling collection at the Spectrum and Stadium.
- Working with the sustainability club and COSAS on waste diversion from tailgating and during football games.
