At the end of Free Fest, all remaining items are donated to charity.

Weigh the Waste
Weigh the Waste is a project created in the 2015-2016 academic year that targets food waste in the dining commons. The goal of Weigh the Waste is to raise awareness about food waste and to decrease the amount of food waste that is going to the landfill instead of to a composting facility. A waste audit of the dining commons was first conducted, and following the waste audit students conducted an education campign in the dining commons during lunch and dinner where plates were weighed before any remaining food was discarded. Then a second waste audit was conducted to determine the impact of the education campaign.
