Navigating the Waste Hierarchy
Rethink / Redesign, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot
Virtually everything we use creates varying degrees of waste throughout its lifecycle—from extraction, harvesting, manufacturing, and transport of materials, to the product’s use and disposal. Amherst invests in recycling, composting, and reducing and reusing materials in order to be a good steward of its resources and a good neighbor to surrounding communities.
