A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Macalester has substantially decreased its food waste by diverting pre- and post-consumer food waste to a local pig farm. The recycling program diverts paper, glass, aluminum, plastic. E-waste and CFLs are collected from departments and the Macalester community. Finally, the Mac Free Swap was launched in 2009 as an online listing service for the Macalester community. A MacFree Swap dropsite is also available in the Sustainability Office.
