"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
Yes

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:

Mulching- we currently don’t have a location to compost, but we do recycle our clippings from pruning into mulch for use on our grounds. We do not use grass clippings.

Whenever we have clippings, we run them through a chipper and the mulch that is generated is turned on a weekly basis to prevent weed seed germination and to speed up the breakdown. When it is ready, it is used in designated planting areas.


The percentage of landscape waste that is mulched or composted onsite:
70

The percentage of landscape waste that is mulched or composted off-site:
0
