Waste

Becoming a zero waste campus will require a large shift in the way the campus operates, and students and employees will each need to do their part to limit the waste sent to landfill. The Zero Waste UW Action Plan focuses on five key areas to support the transition and make behaviour change convenient and impactful:

• Engagement and training
• Reducing and eliminating waste
• Maximizing recycling 
• Capturing organics
• Expanding reuse programs
