UCSF Housing Sorting Project
What are the results from this pilot?
• Direct advertising on specific product do work!
• Decreased garbage here at the targeted buildings
by almost 70%
• Educating students here have a double effect as
they will also carry these habits on campus
• Better insight on processing residential waste
versus commercial waste
• Diverted over 22 tones from the landfill
26
UCSF Housing Sorting Project
What did we not expect or could be improved?
• Limited visibility on our signage
• Took a lot more time to sort residential garbage
(almost 50% more time)
• We were very far from our initial estimates of
diverting 70 tons during this period
Presentation Title27
UCSF Housing Sorting ProjectWhat are the next steps
• Trying to sell Housing on
continuing this service
• Streamlining the data
collection system
• Working with Housing on
different ways of reaching
their tenants
