Cal Poly San Luis Obispo: Food Scrap and Green Material
Date Published/Last Revised: August 2002
Publication Type: Case study
Description: 2 page(s). This case study describes how the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), San Luis Obispo, implemented several programs that divert both green material and food scraps from landfilling. As a result of these programs, the campus has little material that is actually landfilled, makes $30,000 in annual revenue from compost sales, decreases pollution from animal waste runoff, reduces landfill greenhouse gas emissions, and conserves landfill capacity.
