野生盆地创意研究中心, Bon Appétit, and our Grounds, Maintenance, and Facilities departments have joined forces to bring composting to campus:

• The Grounds department takes lawn trimmings and composts them. This effort saves over 240 trips to the landfill and over $10,000 in landfill fees each year.
• The Grounds department also works with Bon Appétit and Jo's Coffee to 堆肥咖啡渣.
• In 2019, Bon Appétit partnered with Grub Tubs to compost food waste in Hunt Hall and South Congress Market. The bins are clearly marked so the university community knows what can and cannot be thrown into them.  
• Wild Basin has composting toilets in the main buildings on site. These toilets are low-maintenance organic waste treatment systems that use biological decomposition to convert toilet waste into a small amount of safe, 稳定的最终产品. They use no water, whereas a normal toilet uses about 2,920 gallons per person, per year. 

单个流循环

单流回收箱遍布校园, and are designated as blue or green or have an identifying sticker. 塑料袋和披萨盒都不能回收. 不要把垃圾放入回收箱. Once the recycling bin contains any mixed trash, it can no longer be recycled.

电池和墨水/碳粉盒

Ink/toner cartridges and batteries can be sent to a recycling facility for free. 学习如何回收你的 这里是用过的子弹.

Batteries can be dropped off at the check-out desk at Munday Library.

Trash

Gray bins are for trash (including anything with food products). 任何玉米基塑料或生物塑料都要放进灰色的箱子里. 观看这个视频 了解更多关于什么和在哪里你可以在校园里回收.

资讯科技署(OIT) ensures sustainability plays a role in every aspect of campus technology. 电源管理, 硬件旋转, computer imaging and technology recycling are the primary ways OIT accomplishes this goal.

Power Management

OIT explores many power management solutions to increase on-campus energy conservation while maintaining expected, reliable service. OIT also maintains a regular computer replacement cycle to benefit from industry advances in power efficiency. 

设备更换

OIT continually evaluates existing technology to determine its useful life. Each year, OIT provides departments with an analysis of their current tech inventory and recommended replacement cycles. OIT maintains and updates equipment until the end of its useful life.

Recycling

据估计，每年有20%的校园技术被淘汰. Still-functioning computers too old to be useful on campus are donated to local school districts and/or nonprofit organizations. OIT与当地回收商合作, and these partners dispose of old technology and the associated hazardous chemicals in an environmentally-responsible manner. These partners are also accredited with industry certifications for the pickup and distribution of e-waste. 他们提供IT资产配置, 电子产品回收, CRT Recycling and Certified Data Destruction for the university while following environmental practices and standards.

Facilities works to reduce the university's energy consumption. Facilities purchases electricity from clean, renewable energy sources from Austin Energy and continually invests to maximize use of existing physical plant and building mechanical systems rather than using unnecessary resources to build new ones. 一个由30多个学生组织组成的联盟 可持续发展学生 和学生政府组织 气候正义联盟 has been working with the university administration to take meaningful infrastructural changes to combat the current environmental climate crisis. The main objective is to decrease the university's purchase and consumption of dirty energy.

Most campus buildings are cooled using chilled water that is pumped throughout the campus to reduce pumping costs. A majority of academic buildings and residence halls have web-based heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems that allow monitoring and adjustment from Facilities.

See how 10 St. Edward's University buildings reduced their energy consumption during the university’s participation in 校园保育国民, the largest electricity reduction competition for colleges and universities around the world.

Water is one of our most precious resources, especially in drought-prone Texas. St. Edward's devotes a significant portion of its resource conservation efforts to water. Existing buildings have been retrofitted with low flow water fixtures, and new buildings must comply with current water efficient plumbing requirements. Xeriscaping or planting predominantly native vegetation with low water requirements is another means to increase water conservation on campus. Visit our blog 浏览有关节约用水的最新消息.
