Beginning in 2010 Yale University began collecting food waste from all its dining facilities which is taken to a composting facility in the state.
Yale's Spring Salvage collects items from undergraduates at the end of the academic school year and donates items to local non-profits.
Scrap metal is separated from municipal solid waste as a diversion strategy.
