A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
On major construction and renovation projects, Colby makes a goal of achieving a LEED Silver rating. Waste management is a necessary component of this aggressive goal, so Colby tries to reuse old infrastructure and recycle unusable waste as much as possible. One example is the Grossman renovation project that was completed in Summer 2017. This project utilized an existing building by remodeling the interior and adding an exterior addition. On every project, Colby instructs contractors and architects to be as sustainable and reduce waste as much as possible. If there are old materials, such as furniture that will not be reused by the College, Colby will sell or give it away.
