A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
The use of compost or mulch waste is a priority set by landscapers at OSU. On-campus handling and chipping of woody debris and compostable material ensures these materials are returned to the soil. Grass clippings are left on the lawns to return nutrients. All leaves are composted on-site, and mulch and wood chips are applied to OSU grounds to reduce watering and weeding needs.
None
