Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

FY2017-18 provided by Ben Kunka, Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling.

This data is generated by UNCG Facilities Design and Construction, who at the conclusion of construction projects provides landfill and recycling tonnages based on tipping fee numbers, so they are true numbers rather than estimates.

This data, however, is not included in the OWRR annual diversion calculations and does not include information on minor renovation work.

Data entered by Shanna Eller, Sustainability Coordinator for Operations.
