A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:
All dining halls collect pre and post-production food waste, which is sent to an off-site composting facility. The finished compost is then returned to campus for use in one of seven Dining Hall Gardens, on the Stanford Educational Farm, and for various landscaping needs. Stanford annually composts over 1 million tons of food waste from its dining halls and other campus eateries.
