A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Duke University Grounds has a commitment to reuse landscape waste. Most trees and woody vegetation that are cut down are reused as woodchip mulch. Sometimes wood is reused for lumber projects. Leaves that fall on campus are mowed and reapplied on mulch beds to improve soil quality. When feasible, some landscape waste is composted off site in a location in Duke Forest.
