Abstract
ID: 21
Western Oregon University spends approximately $40,000 yearly on the hauling and disposal of
campus-wide waste at the landfill, most of it coming from student housing, and much of it is still
compostable or recyclable. This project presents a simple and strategic intervention: install three-
bin waste stations, deliver targeted education, and realign operations with proven sustainability
practices. Backed by EPA and USDA data, the model demonstrates that landfill volume can be
reduced by up to 40 percent, generating more than $10,000 in annual savings. This is not a
facilities issue, it’s a leadership opportunity. We can keep dumping tuition into the trash or turn
waste into long-term savings and institutional credibility.
