Waste At 91自拍
91自拍 is focused on minimizing the amount of waste we produce by working on various efforts, initiatives, and projects in partnership with many units across campus to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
highlights
91自拍 recognizes not only the importance of diverting our waste but reducing the amount of waste produced on our campus. 91自拍 partners with several local companies in Colorado Springs to collect our compost, recycle, landfill, and e-waste.

We are working to standardize all of our waste bins on campus through our waste reduction program to match international standards - blue for recycle, green for compost, and black for landfill. The program we are deploying across campus through Sodexo and Facilities Services is in line with national waste diversion program standards. A black container is always paired with a blue container, and a green container is always placed in rooms where food catering occurs, in break rooms, and in bathrooms for composting of paper towel waste. We've seen significant results from this program and applaud your efforts in diverting waste from landfills.
Many people have had questions about what can and cannot be recycled or composted. Our waste hauler, (GFL), has specific guidelines on this topic for the facilities available in our area.
