Recycling and Landfilled
JMU recycles aluminum cans, and paper products including newspapers, envelopes, paperboard, and corrugated boxes. JMU also composts most of its food waste. Recycling and composting are two sustainability measures used to divert waste from the landfill. The graph shows modest increase in both measures over the last decade.
JMU Policy 1701 covers sustainable procurement and includes several provisions aimed at preventing waste, ranging from buying products that are reusable, refillable, or contain post consumer waste to specifying reclaimed materials (such as stone and brick) be used in many specific circumstances.
