A brief description of the post-consumer food waste composting program:
LMU Dining Services has experimented with processing post-consumer food waste in multiple ways. Currently, LMU owns and operates a food waste dehydrator, the Somat eCorect, that converts both pre-consumer and post-consumer food waste into a dehydrated food waste material. Then, this material is composted at the LMU campus garden along with straw, coffee grounds, and other nitrogenous materials. Some of this work was featured in the December 2011 issue of BioCycle.
