Yard Waste Composting

Yard waste comes from the maintenance of the SLU grounds, whether it's tree branches, bushes, flowers, or other natural plants around campus.

The Department of Grounds Services composts yard waste on campus. All yard waste that cannot be composted on-site (i.e., tree stumps) is composted at the landfill. However, most debris generated from the grounds operation is kept on-site, composted and reused throughout campus. Composting provides needed nutrients for plant life in the flower beds around campus and keeps it out of landfills.

Food Composting

Various on-campus dining locations sort collected food waste as part of the pre-consumer composting process. Pre-consumer, also known as back-of-house composting, includes any food or paper organic waste created or food scraps discarded during food production. Consumers might not readily notice the compost collection process occurring behind the scenes.

Watch for compost totes on campus behind buildings. These containers are generally used by food service workers only. Do not put single-stream recycling items in these containers. Contamination over three percent will force the whole container to be rejected.

All food at Fresh Gatherings Cafe is served on fully compostable plates, cups, bowls, etc. Beverage cups are compostable (both hot and cold). The garden program utilizes seven compost tumblers, one large industrial-sized tumbler, an Earth Tub and a vermiculture system to manage both pre- and post-consumer food waste.

Saint 直播自慰视频 University offers several options for students and employees to donate reusable items. Learn more about donating through the following programs, and let your extra or unwanted items help others in need.

On-Campus Resources

Battle for the Boot

Battle for the Boot is an annual shoe collection that supports the efforts of Shoeman Water Project to provide clean water to developing countries.

Drop off shoes at donation sites throughout campus and the St. 直播自慰视频 community. Each pair of shoes should match, be free of holes and be bound together (tie laces together, connect by rubber band or string, or enclose in a small bag).

You can also help by starting a collection site, volunteering to sort the donated shoes, and spreading the word across campus during the drive.

Furniture Reuse Program

SLU's Department of Distribution Services offers a simple exchange program for reusing furniture on campus. If a department is redecorating and wants to discard its old furniture, Distribution Services will pick it up. Items that can be donated include, but are not limited to:

• Desks
• Chairs
• Tables
• Bookcases
• File cabinets

Items should be in fair to excellent condition.

Once the furniture is collected, it is placed in the furniture showroom in Earhart Hall, which also serves as the University's storage facility for files, mail and packages.

SLU employees can tour the showroom and select items for their on-campus location. Unmarked items can be tagged for delivery to an office or other on-campus location for a small fee and delivery charge. Contact Distribution Services to schedule a tour. Unwanted or excess furniture is donated to a local charity or nonprofit organization. Metal items are often scrapped, earning income that gets reinvested to purchase tools and equipment.

Trash to Treasure: Sustainable Move-Out

At the end of each semester, SLU hosts a sustainable move-out program called "Trash to Treasure." This allows students to responsibly dispose of unwanted items as they move out of their residence halls.

During fall move-out, donation boxes are set up only inside residence hall lobbies with high student turnover. At the end of the spring semester, students can donate gently used items at tents outside of most residence halls.

Items accepted include clothing, furniture, working appliances and electronics, unused toiletries, unopened and non-perishable food items, and either opened or unopened cleaning supplies.

Look for boxes and bins with the Trash to Treasure drop-off zone sign to donate. Donated items will go to MERS/Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul, Campus Kitchen and Stray Rescue. For questions about what to donate, or if you have large items, email greenbilliken@slu.edu.

The most sustainable practice for recycling empty ink and toner cartridges is to return them to the company from which they were purchased, either on or off-campus.

On Campus

Ink and toner cartridges used by departments on campus should be returned to the vendor from which they were purchased. Reusing empty cartridges is preferable to recycling them as fewer resources are needed for the reuse process.

Xerox, the preferred vendor for purchasing ink and toner at Saint 直播自慰视频 University, shows its commitment to sustainability by offering return services for toners and parts using "Eco Box Kits." Designated Key Device Contacts (KDCs) are typically responsible for ordering Eco Box Kits for your department's devices.

If returning cartridges is not an option, cartridges can be donated as part of the e-waste collection program.

Off-Campus

The City of St. 直播自慰视频 has identified for recycling ink and toner cartridges.
