M i n i B i n P r o g r a mNEW!
Where we are Today: SDSU’s Waste Statistics
A new, efficient way to MINIMIZE office waste!
MORE recycling, LESS waste!
BENEFITS:Reduced trash being sent to landfills
Reduced bin liner waste
Pest prevention
S� �u�� ro�� t� ���r���!*Diversion: the amount of waste being diverted from landfills
Our new Mini-Bins will be attached to campus recycling bins in faculty and staff offices. Their small size is designed to help divert recylables from the landfill and encourage sustainable waste disposal!
Reduced disposal fees
Increased floor space
Purchasing cost savings
Only 34% of all non-C&D(construction and demolition)
trash is diverted from the landfill!
On average, our dumpsters only have a 26% diversion rate!
... and an overall more responsible, environmentally-friendly campus!
