A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
Auction process through Western's physical plant allows us to sell furnishings and other building items instead of sending them to the landfill. The State of Wisconsin official auction site we sell a wide variety of items from tools to classroom and office furniture. In FY2020, we auctioned 14.5 tons of old materials removed from our buildings.

During the summer of 2020, bricks from the West end of Clearly Courtyard were replaced. 385 tons of old brick were removed, crushed, and will be reused as road base.
