A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Bard has a robust composting program designed to capture all pre-consumer food scraps at the college's 3 dining locations. A post consumer collection program is in place at the main eatery and seasonally in place at the 2 minor dining facilities. A collection program is also in place for all residence halls.
The college also has a FreeUse store which collects re-usable materials from on campus sources - including materials from offices and residence halls. Most of the items are captured during MoveOut, but blue re-use bins are in place at all campus recycling stations - over 150 locations around campus. Blue bagged items are taken to the FreeUse building during the academic year 24x7.
