The University is committed to an overall goal of reducing Emory's total waste stream by 65% by 2015, including recycling 100% of electronics waste and road construction materials, and composting, recycling, or reusing at least 95% of food waste, animal bedding, and building construction materials. Other campuses at Emory University, including the Candler School of Theology and the Rollins School of Public Health, provide a strong model for the law school to do our part.
We respectfully ask the Emory Law administration for their support toward this endeavor, as we anticipate needing procedural, programmatic, and monetary support.

I have sent a formal request for a meeting to the facilities management office to discuss how we can align our disposal practices with the university goals. We are currently gathering data from other departments that successfully implemented composting and expanded recycling to present as a viable operational framework.

The administration has acknowledged the momentum behind this proposal and requested a formal meeting to discuss waste diversion logistics. I am currently drafting a detailed assessment of the composting programs used by other departments to present during our upcoming briefing.

100% agree. we should be leading by example instead of falling behind the other schools.
Emory claims to be green but walk through the law building and its mostly just overflowing trash cans. DO BETTER.
The amount of paper towels thrown out in the bathrooms is insane. Composting is such an easy fix. Make it happen.
its honestly embarrassing how little we recycle here. everywhere else on campus is doing it so why is the law school lagging behind?
Fix the recycling situation please. It is way too hard to find a bin that isnt just for regular trash.

About time we got some composting bins. Tired of seeing all that food waste go straight to the landfill.
