Yes
None
A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
PCC doesn’t compost material, per se, but does recycle all green waste material by the following methods:
1) Urban campuses - all material is placed in yard waste drop boxes for recycling off site.
2) Sylvania & Rock Creek campuses - woody material is stock piled and later ground to make mulch, including grass clippings.
3) Leaves - Primarily left in beds to act as mulch for weed control per the colleges IPM program. In some cases leaves are mulched-mowed to speed up the breakdown process and stop them from blowing away. The only material disposed of off site is weeds from flower beds to diminish weed seed load per our IPM program.
