SUNY Adirondack conducted a campus waste audit, sorting garbage and recyclables to determine the efficacy of its container system, and how much garbage campus creates. What we found helps us educate others on what can be recycled and informs signage around campus.

We also reduce waste by:

• Offering reusable mug discounts in Chartwells dining;
• Using compostable dinnerware in Chartwells;
• Using paper straws;
• Offering water filling stations in the Student Center, and Warren, Adirondack, Bryan and Eisenhart halls;
• Using clearly labeled waste and recycling bins throughout campus;
• Purchase of paper products and electronics from vendors dedicated to ecological stewardship;
• Chartwells and Seasoned collection pre-consumer food scraps for compost;
• Seasoned uses locally sourced vendors for as much as it can, reducing carbon footprint by reducing shipping and supporting sustainable agricultural methods;
• Cleaning products used throughout SUNY Adirondack's three locations — main campus in Queensbury, Seasoned in Glens Falls and SUNY Adirondack Saratoga in Wilton — are certified "green" with Green Seal or UL Environment EcoLogo
