Does the institution have a program to reduce residence hall move-out waste?:
A brief description of the program:
Cardboard recycling is the main focus of the move-out waste reduction program. For each of the 3 moveouts during the year, extra cardboard bins are set up, the largest taking place in April when 4 x 40 yd. bins are brought in and emptied emptied three times/week.
Extra signage to promote waste diversion is utilized during move-out period. In addition, a number student/staff diversion ambassadors are on hand to advise students of waste diversion opportunities.
Other communication vehicles used to promote waste diversion opportunities during move-out include traditional mail, email, and Facebook.
Charity Diversion - Fleming picks a charity each year to whom is donated non-perishable foods, clothing, pots/pans, bar fridges, tv's, etc. - must get items out quickly - program is communicated through hard & electronic mail "get ready for move-out / recycling / diversion".
Food - all surplus food goes to student government food banks.
In addition, students are encouraged to utilize the on-site Eco-Shed for their compactor & recycling needs, and the vermi-composter for their food waste disposal. Each residence suite has compost bucket.
