UI Electronic Waste Disposal Fee Schedule & Guidelines - 2010
Due to recent legislation in Oregon, effective January 1, 2010 the landfill currently receiving the University of Idaho’s municipal solid waste will no longer accept Electronic Waste (E-Waste). This means that no E-Waste may be put in interior waste cans, exterior trash cans or dumpsters. For simplicity sake, if a unit has a plug, battery, or microchip, it will be considered E-Waste.

Climate Action Plan - 2010
This report is the first University of Idaho Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP was developed to outline the steps the University of Idaho needs to take to become climate neutral by 2030. The steps towards climate neutrality are also steps towards greater fiscal responsibility. Energy conservation, higher performance buildings, reducing fossil fuel use, and other strategies outlined in this plan are cost‐effective, not only reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, but also reducing operational costs and the impacts of future increases in energy and fuel prices.

Strategic Innnovation Initiative: Waste Minimization Proposal - 2009
Sustainability has to be more than just a word at the University of Idaho (UI), but rather a way of preparing students for a future that may include energy and water shortages, climate change, increased competition from abroad, and perhaps declining per capita income. US citizens cannot afford to continue wasting precious resources. This proposal will increase the sustainability of UI by reducing our overall waste stream. The focus on waste minimization and recycling is meant to be an example of the types of projects possible to advance sustainability, which are both cost effective and requisite for a healthy future for the young people educated at the UI. This Strategic Innovation Initiative submitted by Darin Saul, University of Idaho Sustainabiltiy Director, is being implemented.
