Item Increasing waste diversion rates of UVic family housing(2018) Al-Hashimi, AfnanThis project proposes to bring Sorting-at-Source into Family Student Housing units by providing printed UVic standard signage and colour coded sorting bins in family housing. Currently, Family Student Housing residents collect waste material in containers in their homes and then they take that material to waste compounds. UVic currently expects residents to sort their material in the compounds, but a low diversion rate has resulted. In addition to the infrastructure, this project proposes to create an educational program for the UVic family housing community to assist people to use the bins provided.
