A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
Fleming's Frost and Brealey campuses both have a new food desiccator, known as a Hobart system, being operated by their 3rd party cleaning contractor OMNI. Collection bins for post-consumer organics are available in dining and food preparation areas. Organics are collected by OMNI and placed into Hobart system. This system is a unique automated, on-site system that efficiently decomposes organic waste into a soil amendment without using any micro-organisms, enzymes or additives. The system is capable of handling food waste, cardboard and compostable disposables such as the compostable plates currently in use on campus.
