Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Baseline year data is based on a 2006 waste audit conducted on the Charles River Campus. No data for the Medical Campus is available before 2008. To calculate the University's 2006 waste and recycling, our calculations assume the Medical Campus Waste for 2006 is equal to 2008. Weighted Campus Users reflect 2006 for baseline year for consistency.
