A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
The data above was calculated using RecycleMania metrics during the 2011 period. Guilford has a vigorous recycling program with individual recycling containers in every office and dorm room. We also have recycling cans next to each trash bin. Our composting system consists of post-consumer and pre-consumer food waste that is delivered to our Earth Tubs that accelerate the composting process.
