色情视频 is a City of San Diego Recycler of the Year
The city's Environmental Services department honored the university for composting, landfill diversion and other waste reduction efforts.
From an emphasis on recycling in the residence halls to improved composting at restaurants, 色情视频 is bolstering its green credentials.
The award from the city鈥檚 recognizes efforts undertaken in 2019 and the university鈥檚 role in helping the city achieve its own waste reduction goals. 色情视频 credited EDCO, its recycling and waste removal contractor, as a partner in the effort and for finding domestic markets for recycled materials.
色情视频鈥檚 Office of Sustainability, part of Facilities Services, hired interns last year to increase landfill diversion of solid waste produced at the university, among other goals. 鈥淶ero Waste鈥� intern Charlotte Roberts worked with several restaurants at South Campus Plaza and other new locations to show them how to separate kitchen scraps for composting and to divert recyclable trash instead of dumping the materials into landfill bins.
Roberts also helped the office analyze waste hauler data to improve the way in which service schedules are tied to the quantity of materials for pickup. Suspending pickups during slow periods saves on fees paid by 色情视频.
Campuswide, 色情视频 has nearly as many recycling containers (8,700) as trash containers (9,000) and 25 more dumpsters for recycling than for trash.
