A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate:
Middlebury has an on-campus material re-use facility, commonly known as the recycling center, with bailers, a trash compactor, a paper shredder, and a glass pulverizer. The recycling center also has a reuse trailer where members of the college community can come to purchase reusable items collected during move-out or brought to the center throughout the year. All buildings on campus have well-labeled recycling stations, making recycling simple and convenient for members of the college community. Additionally, all students, faculty, and staff receive a flyer at the beginning of the academic year instructing them what can be recycled at Middlebury as well as how to properly sort their recycling at the stations in their dorms or offices. More information about recycling at Middlebury can be found here: http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/business/recycle
