Does the institution compost or mulch waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings?:
A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
UB either composts or mulches all of the waste from grounds keeping. All mowers are equipped with mulching mower decks. Grass clippings are mulched as the grass is cut and clippings are left on the lawn to decompose and fertilize the lawn. The mowers alo mulch the majority of leaves in the fall. The small amount of collected leaves are composted and used as mulch on campus. Tree and shrub trimmings are chipped and used for much around tree bases and in planting beds.
