Description
The goal of the University of Kentucky’s recycling program is to reduce waste, and one way to
do this is to divert food waste. The 90 cafeteria has a process and equipment needed to separate
and pulp food waste, but the collection and transportation has been a challenge. The addition of a
lifter system that can be added to an existing pickup truck will allow the collection and
transportation of food waste, in a safer and efficient manner. That same system can also be used
to collect and transport recyclable materials throughout campus.
Another way to decrease waste is by making recycling convenient. With this goal, the University
of Kentucky’s All-in-One comingled recycling program is been expanded to the UK Healthcare
System buildings and facilities, and outdoor recycling containers and indoor recycling containers
are needed to make recycling accessible and convenient to staff member and visitors.
