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:
The University builds everything according to LEED Silver or above standards. PSU receives innovation points on each project for excellent waste diversion rates. The City of Portland requires recycling of construction debris.
Small-scale in-house construction materials are collected in roll-off containers in PSU's landscape yard and are sorted at the MRF.
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers above come from the estimated total tons of C&D waste sent to a MRF for diversion. PSU's hauler Trashco provides an estimated % of our C&D waste that is recycled (based on output from the facility), which was 65% in 2014.
