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:

• Active program to sell or donate campus surplus property.
• 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).
• Reusing and/or redistribute packing materials from central stores and campus distribution centers.
• Establishing post-consumer waste and biodegradable dinnerware composting program.
• Creating and promoting a system for the campus community to report wasteful practices and offer suggestions for waste reduction.
• Creating active program to educate employee and students about waste minimization practices (e.g. incorporating waste minimization information into new employee / new student orientation programs; giving regular presentations to campus groups and departments; setting up public displays, etc.).

Data reported will come from Some Weights / Some Estimates.

The county picks up our recycling materials and our waste vendor picks up the trash. The county provides weights for the recycle bins and the trash vendor provides some weight and some volume/weight estimates. We will add these quantities and report them monthly or as obtained.
