IMEC Tracking Presentation
Associated Project(s):Morgan Johnston met with Seth Rients and Luis Rodriguez to hear a presentation about the IMEC waste tracking system. The system could be installed on campus dumpsters, along with corresponding scales on the garbage and recycling trucks. This would be an automated data collection method for tracking the waste stream inputs at a macro level.
Meeting about waste stream audits
Associated Project(s):Seth Rients and Morgan Johnston met to review the scope of the work requested by F&S. Seth noted that it would be great to have scales in trucks and a system for tracking where the waste materials are generated. They also discussed the methodology details. Where could the waste be sorted and weighed for each building? Can each dumpster be collected individually during the week or two of the audit for that location and driven to the sorting site? What level of sorting do
