A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
As part of the Carnegie Mellon strategic initiative to enhance the scope and impact of our education and research programs related to the environment, the Green Practices Committee was charged in April 1999 to develop a plan for an expanded environmental practices program on campus.
The Green Practices Committee supports and encourages the Carnegie Mellon community to reduce or reuse all items and recycle as many materials as possible. Items include mixed office paper, cardboard, beverage containers, wood waste & pallets, steel & bi-metals, tires, electronic waste, textiles, scrap metal, plant materials, and food waste.
