A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Our goal is to conserve our natural resources by reducing consumption of materials, reusing materials whenever possible, recycling materials using current technology and practicing wise procurement policies, including the purchase of recycled materials. We seek cost efficient means for accomplishing our goals and assess commodity markets for revenue producing opportunities.
The Resource Recovery department is responsible for all university waste disposal, with the exception of items classified as hazardous waste. Our recycling policy is based on good, consistent environmental practices and meets or exceeds all national, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances as they relate to resource recovery.
