Water Initiatives
The UMD campus has invested in many projects that reduce water consumption and manage stormwater to prevent watershed pollution. The natural and built environments of UMD’s campus brim with examples if you know where to look.
Reusable Water Bottle Filling Stations
Over a hundred water bottle filling stations are available across campus. Cold, filtered water pours easily into the dispensers which are the right shape and size for most bottles to refill.
Glass Recycling
On campus, glass cannot be placed in mixed recycling bins.
Can the Can: Mini-Bin Program
In 2010 Facilities Management adopted the Mini Bin Waste Collection Program for all offices and individual workspaces on campus. This mini trash bin has replaced all standard, desk-side trash cans and is to be used by employees to collect all non-recyclable trash that will be sent to the landfill.
