A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:

Students can compost post-consumer wastes in the dining halls by scraping non-meat and non-dairy wastes (including napkins and other paper scraps) into bins by the tray return. Students can also compost post-consumer waste in the residence halls by checking out a compost bucket (or using their own) from the Sustainability Integration Office, then disposing of those compostable wastes at the Organic Farm or at the nine compost bins placed in residence hall areas around campus.
