A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
Green composting bins are placed at all dishware collection areas in the dining halls, with signage directing participants to place all food waste and napkins/paper products in bins to be delivered to the Wilmington Organic Recycling Center.
Penn then purchases compost from Wilmington Organic Recycling Center and for use as mulch on campus. This completes the cycle from campus food waste, to composting, to a usable product.
