This webpage hosts our Zero Waste Calculator, depicting the current state of our campus zero waste journey. The table below contains a snapshot of our campus-wide waste generation broken up by building, allowing campus community members to better understand waste in their particular sphere of influence. Shown is each building's waste mix for the two most current weeks (including pounds of recycling, compost, and trash) along with its total waste generated and diversion rate for that week only. This chart is updated weekly, so come back each week to check in on our progress as a campus! ()
