UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICYUPDATED MARCH 19, 2014(949) 824-9097 / akriegho@uci.eduIntroductionThe University of California, Irvine (UCI) is committed to sustainability andenvironmental stewardship in its operations and maintenance. The Solid WasteManagement Policy (SWMP) is intended to provide operational guidance for therealization of that commitment as it relates to the safe, responsible, and ecologicallysound management of waste generated by UCI.DefinitionSolid waste management is the practice of employing the three basic strategies –reduce, reuse, and recycle – to reduce the amount of waste generated by UCIoperations and to minimize the waste that must be disposed of using landfill disposal.ScopePhysical ScopeThis SWMP applies to all waste generated within the UCI campus and upon theassociated site and grounds. No spaces or areas of the UCI campus or site are outsidethe reach of this policy.Relevant Waste StreamsThis SWMP guides the disposal of all ‘ongoing consumables’ at UCI and relevantspaces therein. Ongoing consumables are defined as items which have a low cost perunit and are regularly used and replaced in the course of business. Examples includepaper, glass, plastic, cardboard, toner cartridges, food waste, batteries, green waste,wood, and metals.In addition, this SWMP guides the disposal of ‘durable goods’ at UCI and relevantspaces therein. Durable goods are items which have a useful life of two years or moreand are replaced infrequently and/or may require capital program outlays. Examplesinclude electronics, furniture, office equipment, appliances, external power adapters,televisions, and AV equipment.In addition, this SWMP guides the disposal of ‘materials for facility renovations,demolitions, retrofits, and new construction additions’ managed by FacilitiesManagement and the Design and Construction team at the UCI and relevant spacestherein. Examples include, but are not limited to, building components and structures(wall studs and doors), attached finishing (drywall, trim, ceiling panels), wiring andcopper pipes, ducts, carpet, adhesives, sealants and paints.-2–UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE IRVINE CALIFORNIA 92697C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\AKRIEGHO\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNETFILES\CONTENT.OUTLOOK\UY8T97OX\SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY UPDATED MARCH2014.DOCX
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICYUPDATED MARCH 19, 2014In addition, this SWMP guides the disposal of hazardous waste such as, mercurycontaining light bulbs, biomedical waste, radioactive waste, universal waste, chemicalwaste, and controlled-substance and drug waste, for UCI and relevant spaces therein.Policy GoalsUCI seeks to divert all possible items from landfill, to minimize its contributions to theplanetary waste stream. It is the intent and goal of this policy to reduce the materials itsends to landfill and maximize the materials diverted to alternative disposal via reuse,recycling, composting, or other responsible means. The specific waste diversion goalsare found below.Performance MetricPerformance relating to the goals established in this SWMP will be assessed by carefultracking and analysis of waste diversion. Waste and diversion rates will be measured onthe basis of weight (tons). Our specific annual waste diversion goals are as follows:Diversion Rate (as ofJune 30)200820122020Diversion Goal50%75%100%(Zero Waste)Current Metric Results-3–UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE IRVINE CALIFORNIA 92697C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\AKRIEGHO\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNETFILES\CONTENT.OUTLOOK\UY8T97OX\SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY UPDATED MARCH2014.DOCX
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICYUPDATED MARCH 19, 2014Performance EvaluationEvaluation of UCI’s success in achieving the goals will take place on a semi-annualbasis via the collection of the waste diversion data into a calendar year waste analysisreport and a fiscal year waste analysis report. Each individual listed as a ResponsibleParty in that section below will be responsible for tracking and recording appropriatedata over the year; data will be reported to the Solid Waste and Recycling Manager forcompilation and review. Where feasible, the annual report will include a brief evaluationof the performance, safety, cost and environmental/public health benefits achievedthrough source reduction, reuse, recycling and composting activities.ProceduresUCI strives to maintain a successful and effective solid waste management program byself- hauling and working closely with subcontractors and partners. The performancegoals and metrics are clearly communicated to all parties involved in the wastemanagement process, and tracking is maintained and reviewed monthly to ensure thesegoals are achieved.General InformationUCI maintains a variety of waste diversion programs to accommodate almost all typesof waste exiting the UCI campus. Our programs have the capacity to recycle thefollowing materials: mixed paper, plastics, cardboard, wood, glass, metals, concrete,asphalt, carpet, batteries, e-waste, toner cartridges, lamps, construction waste, andcooking oil. In addition, food waste and green waste are collected and composted offsite. Each major waste category is described briefly in the table below;Batteries &Printer CartridgesTypeMaterialDisposal MethodFacilities Management provides86 green bins labeled “Batteries &Printer Cartridges” located in thelobbies and copy centers ofcampus buildings.Handling ProcedureHaulerThe bins are collected weekly by theUCI Recycle TeamUCI Recycling team.
