A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
All new buildings are required to meet a minimum LEED® Silver certification, which can include a minimum 75% diversion rate for C&D waste. Contractors submit receipts and/or records to confirm that the materials were recycled appropriately. The contractors are also required to have appropriate infrastructure (both containers and adequate signage) to collect and divert C&D waste from the project on-site.

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 2021-2022 fiscal year.
