I. Water Sensitive Waste Disposal
Water Discharge Guidelines and Standards
Water Discharge Guidelines and Standards
MCU maintains a clean and safe environment by strictly following government standards for wastewater discharge. Our wastewater effluent is tested every month, and all results are regularly submitted to the appropriate government agencies as part of our self-monitoring report. We also ensure that our sewage treatment plant and its filters are well-maintained.
Reducing Plastic Waste
Reducing Plastic Waste
The university encourages concessionaires to stop using single-use plastics, switching to eco-friendly packaging and reusable utensils.
Proper Disposal of Defective and Condemned Assets
Proper Disposal of Defective and Condemned Assets
As part of the ongoing campus clean-up, all scrap materials and defective assets, including metals, woods, and other condemned items, have been collected and sold to scrap buyers. This initiative helps in maintaining a clean and clutter-free campus environment, while still properly disposing the waste to prevent pollution.
