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

A brief description of the composting or mulching program:

When we mow, we leave the grass clippings on the ground for natural mulch. In the fall we either compost leaves in place (chop them up on the grass where the fall) or we haul them offsite to the city of Waverly’s waste site where they are processed by the city's compost facility. We also take branches and other trimmings to the city’s waste site throughout the year.


The percentage of landscape waste that is mulched or composted onsite:
70

The percentage of landscape waste that is mulched or composted off-site:
30
