This is a dataset collected by the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Intern team in the Office of Sustainability in the Fall of 2025. It contains data of what kind of trash is thrown away in a small subset of bins on campus.

This procedure highlights how the Office of Sustainability Interns have completed waste audits by weight. This applies to past data collection. More recent data collection was completed using volume.

From Fall 2021 to Fall 2022, Vassar’s Office of Sustainability conducted a total of 34 waste audits across campus. This report compiles the findings of these audits.
