A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
We mulch grass clipping and leaves on campus. This is mainly done by lawn mowers with mulching blades during the growing season. Excess leaves are returned to the environment by dumping them in wooded areas throughout the campus. We would like to develop a composting program but the space requirement for such a program is not available on campus.
