Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
In a co-operative project with the Town of Normal, a program was established which allows the Town's collection of residential yardwaste and the University's wood waste to be ground and chipped at the Town, and then used on campus in the mulched beds, or delivered to the University Farm to be added to our windrow compost facility.
With a campus community of 24,000 we generate a large amount of solid wood waste. Standard items include brush, desks, tables and chairs, but there is also a large amount of dimensional lumber, doors, cabinets, etc which is now mulched or composted.
