A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
As described in Dining Services (Tier 2 - 5 and 6), a major element to UNH's growing waste diversion rates is our strong composting program. UNH University Hospitality Services collects between 25,000 - 40,000 lbs. of pre-consumer and post-consumer food waste per month. All three dining halls plus Huddleston Hall process food waste for composting.
