Does the institution have a pre-consumer food waste composting program?:
Yes

A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:

Pre-consumer compost is collected in the kitchens of the cafeteria, Marty's, and Oneota Market. Fruit and vegetable peelings and trimmings make up most of the compost stream, along with certain types of paper, coffee grounds, coffee filters, and egg shells. Food waste is not composted in the dish room or in other parts of the kitchen. Some leftovers are composted, mostly rice, never protein products, and rarely pasta (plain pasta rarely goes to waste).
