Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Additional collection containers for cardboard are placed at each residence hall, custodial staff work additional hours to assist with material collection and direction of students and families in proper recycling of materials, and recycling information is provided during orientation and with tabling on move-in day.
Campus Life did an experiment with Cassella where waste was collected all in one truck and was sorted in the County's waste diversion line. While this was successful, the County has had limited success with its waste diversion line and may not have this option for the fall of 2013.
