A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Recycling rooms are attached to all residence halls and the University community is encouraged to properly deposit their recyclables in classrooms and common spaces. In addition to typical recyclable materials (paper, plastic, metal, cardboard) St. Lawrence also recycles batteries, ink/toner cartridges and compact florescent light bulbs. Pre-consumer food scrap composting and a reuse initiative during move-out also help divert waste from the landfill.
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Recycled materials include pre-consumer food scrap composting and items saved by the reuse initiative.
