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

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:

The grounds team picks up waste after trimming trees or bushes, stores it in 200 Lees, then puts them into the composter. The compost is then used to fertilise flower and shrub beds. There is also a vermicomposter on campus that uses organic residue.
As for lawn trimmings, they are left where they are to mulch.
