A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Emory's Sustainability Vision set goals to reduce Emory's total waste stream by 65% by 2015, including recycling 100% of electronics waste and road construction materials and composting, recycling, or reusing at least 95% of food waste, animal bedding, and building construction material. In congruence with this vision, Emory Recycles and Waste Department have been working in conjunction with the Office of Sustainability Initiatives and the university community to improve our waste diversion rate and reduce our overall waste stream.
