Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Below is the notes associated with the attached slide:
USD Recycling is a team of students who collect recyclables from residence halls and other buildings so they can be turned into something new. Recycling guidelines on campus may be different from other places you might have recycled. You can check the label on a bin to see what you can recycle. If you’re not sure, it’s better to send something to the landfill than risk contaminating the recycling bin. Contaminants like food, liquid, and plastic bags can ruin the whole load and keep any of it from being recycled. Thank you for doing your part to reduce waste.
Dashboard where I received the number of undergraduate students:
