Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The performance year is 2011.
The University's Recycling Program began in 1984. The program expanded to its current quad system in 1991, which utilizes color-coded bins to collect different types of recyclables. This system significantly improved collection rates across the campus. In 1998, the Newspaper Plus option was added, and in 2007, a composting program began. The composting program is currently in dining halls and will be expanded to more areas of campus during Fall 2011. The Recycling Program has been nationally recognized and is a pioneer in institutional recycling.
