<p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Undergraduates from the UMass Eco-Rep program will don protective suits and sort through trash taken from four areas of the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus to illustrate that students can do more
to divert recyclables and compostable material away from local landfills.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The eco-reps will empty trash bins from North Village Apartments, Lincoln Apartments, North Apartments and the Morrill Science complex at the Office of Waste Management’s Tillson Farm facility. Once the materials
are sorted, the eco-reps will calculate the percentage of the waste that could have been diverted from the landfill.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">This information will be used to identify ways to encourage more recycling and composting and provide a baseline to gauge improvements. <wbr> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
