Materials recycled, composted, reused, donated, re-sold, or otherwise diverted :
Materials disposed in a solid waste landfill or incinerator :
A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
We have a student recycling team that drives a small van and picks up the recyling from the containers in the academic buildings. The custodians in the housing buildings set the recycling out on the curb. The recycle team picks these up as well. Scrap metal is brough to the Service Building to our Padnos container. We have purchased new recyling containers for every building in the last 7 years. Pre and post consumer compostable material is placed in a separate container and picked up daily to be taken to Spurt Industries to be turned into top soil.
