Since the 1970's Cal Poly Humboldt has been aware of the need for waste reduction measures in order to save money on waste transportation and landfill fees. One step to reduce our waste stream was the establishment of the Waste Reduction and Resource Awareness Program (WRRAP). By diverting fruits, vegetables, and other food products, as well as paper products from the waste stream to an on campus composting system, WRRAP has been saving over 5000 lbs of waste from going to landfills every semester. Not only does the waste diversion program save money for the campus on shipping and dump fees, the program also turns the diverted waste into usable compost. The purpose of this project is to establish a sustainable end use for the finished compost, as well as to increase student awareness of the waste diversion program and the com posting process.
