One of these goals is to reduce the amount of waste the campus generates. Currently a food waste diversion pilot study is being conducted in conjunction with the Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA) to estimate feedstock for a proposed municipal anaerobic digester. This page outlines a current student project looking into the possibility of including bathroom paper towels to the food waste. A pilot study was conducted to determine: mass and volume of paper towels generated, behavior change through participation in project, and logistics for future study. Data from the study estimates an annual accumulation of 30,000 pounds or 15 tons of bathroom paper towels with a volume of 8,000 cubic feet. Through basic informational signing a 75% reduction in the amount of contamination. Even though these are rough estimates they support future investigation into paper towel waste diversion.''"],"Page image":["File:Joel Aaron 1.jpg"],"Page keywords":["paper towel","recycle","33 gallon plastic barrel","Camera","Pen","paper","Plastic trash bags"],"Page language":["en"],"Page license":["CC-BY-SA-3.0"],"Page title":["Humboldt State University Paper Towel Diversion Project"],"Page views":[319],"Page year":["Saturday, 01-Jan-11 00:00:00 UTC"],"Project authors":["User:Gotbisson","User:Aaron Gallo"],"Project coordinates":["40.866516666667, -124.08283888889"],"Project location":["Arcata, California"],"Project thumb":["https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/thumb/1/1a/Joel_Aaron_1.jpg/330px-Joel_Aaron_1.jpg"],"Project year":["Saturday, 01-Jan-11 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Tuesday, 18-Jun-24 15:38:13 UTC"]}
