Waste Minimization

As part of its involvement in the Waste Minimization category, this school is pledging to implement the following waste reduction practices on its campus:

• Working with vendors to reduce transportation packaging (e.g. require vendors shipping on a pallet to take it back with the next delivery; redesign shipping packaging for waste minimization or recyclability, etc).
• Promoting the use of printer settings and paper reduction software (e.g. GreenPrint).
• Recognizing waste reduction / materials management roles in relevant staff job descriptions including administrative assistants, purchasing officials, and building proctors.

Number of FTE Students:

6,372

Number of FTE Staff and Faculty:

Full-time Equivalent Campus Population: 7,739.00

For the 2009 competition, schools that participate in the Competition Division will have their FTE population calculated using standardized data submitted to the federal Department of Education's IPEDS program. This is the number by which reported weights will be divided to determine per capita recycling weights. For more information about the FTE calculations, refer to the IPEDS section of the Rules page.

Data reported will come from Actual Weights.

We will use the weigh slips provided by the County Recycling MRF where our materials are taken in College owned trucks.
