A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Arizona State University is developing a university-wide composting program that will include food waste. This requires adjustments in state statutes which will be a topic area for a Spring '11 capstone course. Currently, the Tempe campus composts about 14 tons of landscaping waste monthly by a local farm. The University purchases the compost for use on campus landscapes therefore replacing artificial fertilizers. A similar program is being developed on the Polytechnic and West campuses. The amount of landscaping waste generated on the Downtown Phoenix Campus is negligible.
