PURDUE UNIVERSITYSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Single-stream (for the most part) Separate streams for:
Office paper (includes confidential paper) High-volume producers of cardboard

PURDUE UNIVERSITYSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Trash cans removed from all desks in 2009 – went from trash pickup 3x/week to recycling pickup 2x/week
5,500 recycling containers in residence hall rooms Narrow definition of landfill trash (academic core):
Food waste Napkins and tissues Restroom hand towels
PURDUE UNIVERSITYGOALS OF THE PROGRAM
Maximize Purdue’s diversion rate by the most cost-effective and efficient means
Reduce the amount of waste currently landfilled Raise Purdue’s diversion rate to 85% by 2014
85% BY
2014

DIVERSION RATEWHAT IS DIVERSION RATE?
Diversion rate is calculated as:
Total Recycling Collectedx 100
Total Waste Generated(Recycling Collected + Landfill Trash)
Expressed as a %

SEARCH FOR DYNAMIC TRACKING TOOLNEEDS FOR TRACKING TOOL
Real time tracking – not end of year Monthly data Trending analytics Simplify reporting on campus One source of data Eliminate multiple spreadsheets Departments to have ownership of their waste stream
data and to have access to analytics (peer pressure) Scalable
31
SEARCH FOR DYNAMIC TRACKING TOOLEVALUATION CRITERIA FOR TRACKING TOOL SELECTION
Are all of Purdue’s waste streams supported? How many users are supported? What is level of security / are there administrator rights? What analytics / reporting are available? Is customer support provided during piloting & setup? Can it track Purdue’s historical diversion rates? Can users edit data entry ‘tickets’? Is who entered the data tracked? What does the package cost? Is it user friendly?

RE-TRAC CONNECTLESSONS LEARNED
Diversion rate can be a good metric, but it’s not the whole picture
Too much data is never enough Be consistent, but don’t necessarily be bound by your
historical data categories Ask lots of questions Don’t assume past tracking data is complete
42
RE-TRAC CONNECTLESSONS LEARNED
Don’t assume each department is capturing all their recycling data
Even though departments furnished total recycling amounts, we learned departments were tracking streams much more granularly than we assumed
You can NEVER have enough trending reports No matter how thorough training was and how detailed
the training materials are, you still need to audit the data Garbage in, garbage out
