  1. Waste Audit – Spring 2010

  2. Logistics of WCC’s Waste Audit • One student primarily organized this waste audit, Richard Bruno… one student CAN make a difference! • The trash was collected from Heiner, Laidlaw, Syre, Baker and outside receptacles west of Kellogg Rd., about 120 lbs. in total. • Collection for the audit was orchestrated to reflect the 24 hour period of April 21, 2010. Only what had been thrown in a garbage can was collected. • With the support of faculty offering extra-credit to students, there were over 50 student volunteers sorting trash (Thank you VERY much for your efforts!!) • In Total the event was a lot of FUN !! Students that participated left enlightened by their contribution! • Facilities/Operations gathered valuable information to help improve upon our campus Compost/Recycling program.

  3. The garbage was sorted into categories: Compost, paper towels, bottles/cans, film plastic, mixed paper, landfill

  4. After sorting everything was weighed and recorded

  5. Waste by Category
