A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
University of Maryland recycles all grass clippings on site through lawn mowers. Leaves and other yard waste are composted through the City of College Park every fall. Leaves and mixed debris, including weeds and branches, are collected on campus and taken to an offsite area for recycling. Maryland uses offsite composting because there is not enough land on campus. However, the Department of Building and Landscape Services receives some of the compost generated offsite back to use for landscaping on campus.
