A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
In addition to a single stream recycling program, the institute recycles a number of other commodities. We prioritize material reuse over recycling. University property such as furniture is redistributed throughout campus through the RIT Surplus Property Program. Pieces that are no longer needed on campus are made available for sale first to RIT community members and later to off campus individuals or agencies.
During move out, we collect books, clothing, furniture and other student dorm/apartment items to donate to several area not-for-profits.
