Waste Minimization

• Purchasing office equipment with waste prevention in mind (e.g. electronic interface, double-sided capabilities; sourcing and purchasing for durability, etc.)
• Creating accrual mechanisms to use savings in disposal costs to fund further waste reduction initiatives.
• Active program to sell or donate campus surplus property.
• Reusing and/or redistribute packing materials from central stores and campus distribution centers.
• Promoting inter-office reusable envelopes for campus mail and review/improve campus systems for reclaiming extra envelopes for reuse.
• Replacing paper documents with online alternatives wherever possible (e.g. telephone directories, course catalogs, room selection, bill payment, grade distribution, etc.) .
• Implementing campus printing initiatives which prohibit or discourage unlimited printing in computer labs and copy rooms (e.g. pay-per sheet pricing, etc.).
• Creating an office supplies exchange program on campus.
• Offering discounts or other incentives for using reusable mugs in campus dining operations.
• Establishing post-consumer waste and biodegradable dinnerware composting program.

Full-time Equivalent Campus Population: 3,596.00

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.

Our waste hauler has a scale on the truck and will be able to record all trash and recycling weights.
