A brief description of the post-consumer food waste composting program:
Post-Consumer food composting is available at 4 out of 5 of our dining locations. More than 95000lbs of food waste reported composted during Recyclemania 2010. Separate bins for composting, recycling and landfill are easily accessible for all customers to separate their items. Campus Dining also has a “Green Team” actively educating and showing students how to separate their trash to eventually reach zero waste in the dining halls. This team routinely stands out by the trash receptacles and educates students on the importance of composting and recycling to eliminate trash from going to landfills.
