A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:
All three dining halls currently participate in a pre-consumer composting food waste program. The program started in the 2008-2009 academic year. Dining Services staff members are responsible for separating the compostables in the kitchen.
In January 2011, post-consumer composting began in one retail location and has now been expanded to two retail locations (Fountain Market & Winter Garden Café). The customers are responsible for separating the compostables in retail settings.
During the 2012 – 2013 academic year, 224,290 pounds of waste were composted.
