Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
Yes

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:

Any yard waste or tree debris is sent to the Brazos Valley Recycling Center where it is composted and reused on our landscape. Grass clippings are not only collected and composted in some instances, but our mowers are equipped with mulching blades which allow us to leave the trimmings on site; allowing nutrients to remain in the landscape. Waste is not limited to plant material, but also food waste from campus cafeterias.
