Yes

A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:

All post consumer food waste at the J Dining Hall is composted. We have a dish return system in which students return their dishes for cleaning. At that point, all food scraps are scraped by HSU Dining Services employees into a bin that is collected for composting. At the Depot, our food court location, students bus their own meals, and there is a composting bin located near the recycling and landfill collection site. These bins are clearly labeled so that students can identify what can be compsted (food scraps, paper items, napkins, etc.)
