A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:

With the last three building projects, the first two being completed in Fall of 2012 and the third being completed in January of 2014, Macalester made a significant impact by choosing to remodel existing structures instead of leveling the site and starting from scratch. This choice kept a significant amount of waste from entering the waste stream, as well as reducing emissions from pouring new structures.
