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).
• Offering discounts or other incentives for using reusable mugs in campus dining operations.
• Offering reusable dinnerware and utensils in all sit-down dining facilities.
• Establishing post-consumer waste and biodegradable dinnerware composting program.

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 Some Weights / Some Estimates.

We will receive numbers on weekly basis for bottles and cans recycling weight, paper recycling weight, cardboard recycling weight, compost weight, and waste weight. We will also have weekly tracking numbers for the above listed ways to minimize waste accumulation.
