| Indoor Bin Update |
This project will improve the recycling process in buildings around campus by encouraging sustainable actions and improving the layout of waste and recycling bins within these buildings. Facilities & Services collaborated with ISTC to make an “Indoor Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Assessment”. This assessment determined that the type and layout of collection containers in buildings across campus should be standardized. |
| Increase Recycling Rates |
The 2015 iCAP, chapter 6, objective 2, is "Reduce municipal solid waste (MSW) going to landfills. This involves reducing nondurable goods purchases, effectively reusing materials, and recycling. In the latter category, campus will increase the diversion rate of MSW to 45% by FY20, 60% by FY25, and 80% by FY35, while also increasing the total diversion rate to 90% by FY20 and 95% by FY25. |
| Increase Recycling through the WTS |
The University has a long history of reducing landfill waste. For many years, campus has utilized the reduce, reuse, recycle practice. University Surplus handles the majority of reuse for physical inventory. F&S Waste Management handles the majority of recycling and oversees the management of waste going to the landfill. |
