A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:
During the spring semester of 2005, Dining Services started a composting program of pre- and post-consumer waste in all full and limited full service centers. For Dining Services staff, there are bins "behind the scenes" in Mount Holyoke kitchens to compost pre-consumer food prep waste, including items such as potato peels, lettuce trimmings, and the like. The compost is picked up from the dining halls three times a week and brought to a farm in Belchertown, MA.
