Does the institution have a postconsumer food waste composting program?:
A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
Post-Consumer food composting is available at 4 out of 5 of our dining locations. 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. We use compostable service ware and trash liners to encourage composting and landfill diversion.
