A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Currently all yard waste produced on campus is composted through several means. Most is disposed of in a large dumpster that is retrieved by a contractor and recycled into compost. Some larger woody debris are chipped on site and re-used as rough mulch in selected areas. Approximately 50% of fall leaves are spread throughout the President's Woods (on campus) and left to decompose naturally, adding important organic matter to this forested area. All mowing is conducted with mulching mowers, keeping grass clippings on site and fertilizing the turf.
