🌎 Earth Day Waste Audit — Come Help Us Dig In! ♻️
UC Davis Sustainability and the ASUCD Coffee House are teaming up for a Waste Audit this Earth Day, and we could use a few extra hands.
📅 April 21, 2026 📍 MU Quad, near the CoHo 🕒 10am–3pm
Ever wonder what actually ends up in the trash at the CoHo? We’re going to find out. Volunteers will help sort and categorize waste collected on site — the data we gather goes straight toward making campus more sustainable.
There are perks, by the way ...
1 hour → you walk away with Sustainability swag
2 hours → swag and a CoHo gift card
Not bad for sorting trash.
Come for the volunteer hours, stay for the satisfaction of actually doing something useful. Whether sustainability is your whole thing or you’re just a little curious, you’re welcome here.
👉 Sign up: https://tinyurl.com/WasteAudit2026
Help us make UC Davis a cleaner, greener place — one trash bag at a time. 🌱

From farm to fork at UC Davis. 🌱🍅 Aggie Grown serves up campus-farmed goodness—like Russell Ranch tomatoes, Student Farm veggies, and UC Davis olive oil—right in dining halls, boosting sustainability by connecting students to local, research-backed eats that cut environmental impact and support community farms.

🗑️ Even UC Davis staff have those “wait…which bin does this go in?” moments 😅

We asked staff which waste items confuse them the most—and let’s just say some of the answers might surprise you 👀♻️ Think you know the right bin for all of them? 🤔
We turned some of the most confusing items into a quick sorting challenge. Can you get them right?
