A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
Penn State's Construction and Demolition Program manages construction and demolition waste. It separates recycleable materials from non-recycleables and disposes of them appropriately.

For all new construction and major renovation, Penn State's LEED Policy mandates the Construction Waste Management credit be completed which requires diversion of 50-75% by the contractors.
