WasteWise at Penn (WWP) is a student-driven organization dedicated to improving waste management practices and promoting sustainability awareness across campus. Our mission is to empower the Penn community with the knowledge and tools to reduce landfill waste through education, competition, and collaboration. By fostering a culture of responsible waste disposal and innovative solutions, we aim to make waste diversion a fundamental part of campus life.

In collaboration with the Penn Sustainability Office, WWP is hosting a campus WasteWalk on Friday 11AM-12PM. This is a GIS mapping project to map outdoor trash and recycling bins across campus. Using a GIS mobile app (GPS Waypoint), we will collect coordinates for waste bins. Participants will be assigned different areas of campus to gather data points for the map. This is a great opportunity for students to meet our team while enjoying some sun & sights around campus!
