The Zero Waste team met on November 6th at 11:00 am. Attached are the meeting minutes

Summary:

• October 24th Green Tailgate results

  • ~20 volunteers, collected cans and bottles from 9am-2pm

  • Green dumpster number is unavailable currently. Likely just as full as homecoming (800-860 lbs)

• Events & Catering – wide support for mitigating use of single-use plastics

  • Sara would like to reach out to other campuses about how they dealt with this issue – if anyone knows other institutions doing this, please let Sara know

• USCD Tour success!

• Haneef – GIS mapping project

  • Going on the routes of garbage collection and helping map out the trash bins and the order in which they’re taken by the trucks. This will be helpful to collect info on how full the trucks get, solidify the routes they take, and make sure all bins are accounted for.
