Take Action: University Recycling Manual
Though UC Davis has an integrated waste reduction program that includes recycling, composting, zero-waste events and purchasing strategies — not every institution is so prepared.
If you work with a college, university, public agency, or corporate campus you may be able to help spearhead an expansion in your institution's recycling program. The College and University Recycling Manual was created as a guide to how different facility types can divert various materials from landfill, by setting up new integrated waste programs, maximizing existing waste diversion efforts and creating a sustainable recycling program.
The guide was created in a partnership between UC Davis and the California Collegiate Recycling Council, in response to Assembly Bill 75 passed in 1999 that requires college and university campuses to reduce their landfill waste by half.
The guide was co-authored by Lin King. Updates about UC Davis' goals and achievements related to waste reduction and recycling are available under Campus Progress: Waste Reduction. Any questions about how to recycle at UC Davis should be directed to Waste Reduction and Recycling.
