Zero Waste
UC Davis is working toward a zero waste future by aiming to keep 90% of campus waste out of landfills through reducing, reusing, recycling, and composting. Reaching this goal takes all of us, and it starts with sorting waste the right way.
This page offers tools and resources to help the entire campus community reduce waste and make sustainable choices. If you are a student living on campus, be sure to check out the Student Housing Waste Diversion Guides for instructions tailored to your living space.
