In this study, the current status of waste discharge and treatment was investigated through questionnaires targeting five universities in Seoul, and field investigations were conducted on the physical properties and mixing ratio of recyclables. Among combustible wastes, waste paper accounted for 30.29%, waste synthetic resins 27.66%, and others, which showed the highest emissions,23.66%. All other categories of combustible wastes accounted for less than 10%. The average recycling mix rate across the five universities was 60.44%, with 66.89% as the highest rate and 30.39% as the lowest. The mixing rate of recycling was higher in buildings used by students, such as dormitories and lecture buildings. Universities that separate discharge into four types showed a low mixing rate of recycled items. Based on the survey results, a total of four major classifications (separate collection targets and waste receptacles, installation and management of simple storage facilities, reduction of disposable product use, and designation of a dedicated waste-related department) and eight sub-categories were presented, along with detailed waste management guidelines for universities.
