Yes

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
When possible, UNT's Grounds Maintenance uses waste associated with daily operations to create compost and mulch that can then be used on campus for other landscaping activities. Grass trimmings are mower-mulched and left in place on a daily basis. 80-90% of the leaves on campus each fall are mowed/composted in place. UNT also collects tree trimmings and shreds or composts that material for reuse on campus.
