A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
Both pre- and post-consumer food waste is composted from dining services located in the Mary Graydon Center, as well as the student-run Davenport Lounge in the School of International Service. In 2013, organic collection bins began to be rolled out all across so food waste and other organic materials can be composted anywhere on campus.
