Compost/Recycling Intervention

 

Eco-Reps conduct peer-to-peer recycling and compost education at the dining halls across campus. When students approach the recycling and compost bins, the Eco-Reps council them on what waste items could be recycled or composted. 

OneRev info table in CWP

Compost Innovation

Eco-Reps collect food scraps in residence halls on campus and work with UVM Recycling to send this material to a local composting facility.

Three pilot projects were tested on small scales in Fall 2011:

1) One Revolution organic waste pick up

Using bicycles, a company called One Revolution transported organic waste material from Redstone campus to a compost collection facility.
