A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
In order to compost post-consumer food waste, students must separate food trash and compostable items, recyclable items, and those that must go to the landfill. Waste receptacles at Anderson Dining Hall and at the Weathervane Snack Bar are clearly marked, with pictures and directions explaining how to separate. (There are no receptacles for sorting waste at the Eastside Campus due to space and access limitations.)
