In Sakarya University, the only structures that produce organic waste are dining halls, canteens and cafes, which manage in complete autonomy this kind of waste. The wastes in the dining hall pass through the oil filter and go to the sewer. The dining halls, canteens and the cafes manage the organic waste trough contracts with the Environmental Services Unit of Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality. The Municipality staff collect the organic waste and deliver them at Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality waste treatment plant that processes the material through anaerobic digestion. In 2021, the amount of collected organic waste was 253.386,5 kg.
Bough shredder are used in our university. In this way, waste boughs are ground and turned into fertilizer. These fertilizers are used to fertilize the plants in the campus.
