Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
Yes

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:

All grounds related waste is reused. Grass clippings are mulched on site back into the turf. All wood and brush is dumped at a selected location, where burnable wood is given to the community, and all remaining woody material is chipped into mulch for tree rings. Leaves and herbaceous material is stored at another location and reused as leaf mold and compost.
