This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.

UNLV has a service based trash removal contract as opposed to a weight or volume based contract. The weights for the performance year were estimated based on a year long waste and dumpster survey performed by two undergraduate interns. We have confidence that the number is our best estimate. While we do not feel comfortable trying to estimate the total trash removed for campus in 2005 (we have the recycling weights), UNLV does have many waste reduction programs and policies. We look forward to reporting for this credit in the future.
