Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Grass clippings are not collected but are left to decompose and provide a source of Nitrogen. Leaves collected are composted with layers of topsoil and are turned monthly. All woody tree and brush clippings are chipped and recycled into mulch. Tree removals are chipped and recycled as mulch except larger logs, shipped to plywood plants or made into firewood.
