A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Organic material is collected and a contractor removes it and incorporates the material in their compost. Some compost is used on campus along with mulch which is purchased from another vendor. While the majority of Dining Service food waste is sent to a nearby farm for animal feed rather than composted, they work with a local vendor to compost the waste from their two largest outdoor meals, the Commencement Lobster Bake and the Convocation Lobster Bake.
