Mario Garza oversees the Waste Management portion of the recycling program and coordinates the servicing schedules for all waste hauling of university compactors (including dining hall compactors), dumpsters and roll-off dumpsters. He also oversees the Waste Management contract. Waste Management and recycling go hand-in-hand so the programs are combined. There are substantial savings on waste hauling costs by not land filling all the material that is recycled. Our compactor systems compacts at a 3:1 ratio. In reality if the recycled material were disposed of loosely, it would triple in volume and in cost. Provided through the waste hauling contractor are various compactors and roll-off dumpsters of different sizes. For further questions about Waste Management, please contact Mario Garza at mg18@txstate.edu.
