CCSC Waste Survey

In a recent survey conducted by Sustainable Initiatives, we found that many students on campus believe a switch to compostable packaging would make throwing away their waste a lot easier. Students also stressed a strong interest in wanting more information and help on how to properly use each bin.

 When students were asked what they normally throw away into the landfill trash bins, we found that many are throwing items in the landfill that can be easily recyclable and compostable.

This is a huge issue on campus and Sustainable Initiatives is working on addressing it accordingly. It is important for us to hear what the students have to say and what they would like to see differently.  We currently are looking towards all compostable packaging from all vendors and new improved signs. Thank you to all who participated in the survey and a special thanks to the Shu, Alyssa, and Kelsey who helped conduct the survey!
