Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
The UO composts 100 percent of its yard waste at Facility Services and returns the compost to campus when it is ready. It also mills the wood from failed trees on campus to be used as finished lumber around campus (as highlighted in one of our "Innovation Credits" at the end of this STARS report). Evidence of this is in the Lawrence courtyard where Grounds Maintenance replaced some bench tops with wood that was milled from a cedar tree that died a few years ago. Grass trimmings are not usually collected, but they are returned to the surface of the lawn. During the Fall, Grounds Maintenance uses the collection system to pick up leaves for composting.
