A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
As part of the Carnegie Mellon strategic initiative to enhance the scope and impact of our education and research
programs related to the environment, the Green Practices Committee was charged in April 1999 to develop a plan for an expanded environmental practices program on campus.
Through the Green Practices Committee, Carnegie Mellon reduces or reuses all items and recycles mixed office paper, cardboard, beverage containers, wood waste and pallets, steel and bi-metals, tires, electronic waste, textiles, scrap metal, plant materials, and food.
