RTS in Action

Empowering Sustainability at Suffolk University Through Education and Student Engagement

Problem

Suffolk University in Boston needed to improve their campus waste collection to capture more recycling and optimize pick-up services.

Reduced Truck Trips + Recycling Contamination

RTS’s team of TRUE Advisors worked in partnership with back of the house teams on site to integrate solutions that would allow for optimal waste stream sorting, such as signage, compliance requirements and bin placement.

Reporting + Transparency

Monthly diversion reporting was provided, including real data and insight into the total tonnage of trash, recycling and organics generated on the entire campus.

Technology Support

Real-time, geo-tracking of recycling trucks ensured material was picked up and brought to the proper facility.

The Result

Creating an Educated and Empowered Sustainable Campus

RTS partnered with Suffolk University to enhance signage, host Earth Day fairs, and lead staff trainings that showcase the waste lifecycle, helping the community engage with sustainable practices. This collaboration strengthens ongoing programs and sets the stage for future sustainability initiatives.
