A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:

Daily operation and C&D collection 2013-2014:
Recycled: 1101.85 tons
Reused: 993.20 tons
Landfill: 252 tons

UW Recycling has several permanent Construction & Demolition (C&D) recycling containers (10-yard and 20-yard roll of containers) in their Corp Yard 2 location that encourage the proper disposal of the following materials: C&D, Concrete, Clean Wood and Scrap Metal. The Corp Yard 1 location has permanent containers on-site to collect carpet and C&D. Other academic or facilities services buildings have permanent containers on site to collect C&D and scrap metal. Temporary containers are also called in for specific jobs. All containers are well labeled and the areas well-signed to encourage proper use and to minimize contamination. In FY 15 we diverted 1,305.73 tons of C&D, clean wood concrete, carpet and scrap metal from these two locations.
