Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UC Davis has a fairly robust waste reduction and recycling program, including the nation’s first zero waste stadium, and a major organics and food waste diversion program. The campus focus on reducing waste can be traced back to at least 1975, when Bargain Barn (now called Aggie Surplus) opened in an effort to more responsibly dispose of surplus equipment, furniture and supplies. The data in this credit reflects our 2018-19 fiscal year.
