A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
In 2008 Dominican's custodial service provider presented a recycling plan proposal to implement a recycling program in the entire campus, excluding only the Dining Hall - which is managed by a third party company. According to the plan it was estimated to recycle an average of 18 tons of debris annually. For the FY2010-11 it is estimated that Dominican diverted from the landfill an average of 31.72 tons of debris.
Other programs, such as residence halls move-out waste reduction (donation of unwanted items to local charities) and an on-site composting pile have been contributing to the additional tons of trash diverted from the landfill, respectively, 12 tons and 17.89 tons.
