A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Of the 100% of landscape waste that is mulched or composted, approximately 25% is composed of grass clippings and leaves that are cut using mulching kits and composted in place. The remaining 75% is transported from the site where generated to an open area on campus where it is composted.
Landscape Services harvests leaves, grass clippings and wood chips by mechanical means such as lawn mower bagging units, vacuum units and wood chippers. Coarse organic waste is transported to an open area and incorporated in piles, and occasionally mixed to enhance decomposition. The finished product is later recycled back into landscape beds.
