About
Cal Zero Waste manages over 25 tons of solid waste throughout campus daily and is
committed to advancing reducing, reusing, recycling, and composting programs while
providing effective collection services.
To operate these programs, Cal Zero Waste works with various other campus entities such as
Custodial Services for indoor waste, compost, and recycling collection, Landscape Services for
outdoor green waste and plant debris services, and Facilities Services Event Services for events.
Our staff consists of a Zero Waste Manager, a Zero Waste Operations Supervisor, Truck
Drivers, Groundskeepers, Zero Waste Technicians, and Staff Associates. Staff Associates are
students who work to support many zero waste programs in different areas of campus to
achieve our UC Zero Waste 2020 and Beyond goals. Projects include working with Berkeley
Dining, Residential & Student Service Programs, Cal Athletics, labs, ReUSE, Student Union,
and many other departments and organizations.
