Waste

Water Usage Chart

As part of our Zero Waste by 2025 goal we are tracking how much waste material campus sends to the landfill.  Each year the campus population increases while we work with our community to increase sustainability education and reduce waste. In 2015 about 550 tons of material went to the landfill, with the next few years in the same range. In 2020 when the campus went remote approximately 250 tons of material was produced as building operations continued at a minimum basis.
