Landscape

There are other ways schools are trying to recycle. Schools like California State University Long Beach are recycling grass and Tree trimmings which then are diverted in to mulch. This is an integrated effort done by CSULB Facility Management.

Tree trimmings are being chipped on campus and then spread around pant beds to adorn the grounds and help plant life grow better, Facilities Management manager Jon Root said. One of the main reasons that it is so important is because the CSULB campus is heavily landscaped, having close to 321 developed landscape acres.
