A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
Miami is working to implement single stream recycling across campus starting in August 2013, and it installed its first organic compactor for food scrap in February 2013. A solid waste lean team is putting together an implementation plan to keep the majority of the university's solid waste out of landfill by 2017.
