| Abstract | In response to an official request for information and evaluation of solid waste production and management at California's public colleges and universities, this study examined existing conditions and barriers to solid waste reduction and recycled product procurement, and suggested assistance strategies. The examination found that these institutions are the largest generators of solid waste among state facilities, generating over 400,000 tons per year: 51 percent of the waste generated by all state facilities. Barriers to the implementation and reporting of diversion activities identified include insufficient administrative support, policies, mandates, and funding; insufficient knowledge of waste reduction methods and benefits; and lack of full-time coordinators. Recommended strategies to reduce waste include informing administrators of the economic benefits of waste reduction, providing information in the form of guides and videos, promoting networking through the campus recycler's e-mail network, and stimulating competition between campuses. Barriers to recycled product procurement identified include insufficient knowledge of sources, prices, and quality; insufficient mandates, policies, and administrative support; decentralized purchasing; and large workload of purchasing officers. Assistance strategies in this area recommended include encouraging participation in the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign; and promoting the use of "Buy Recycled" guidance documents. Appendixes contain data on waste generation at specific institutions, relevant state legislation, and executive orders. (JB) |
