A brief description of the postconsumer food waste composting program:
In the main dining hall, students deliver their trays to a station and student workers remove items from the trays. These employees are trained to sort the tray items into recycling and compost. In the cafe dining area, 3-part bins are color coded for recycling, landfill and compost. The bins were designed and built by a local company with input from campus stakeholders. Compost bins are provided at all large-group campus catered events. This compostable material is then delivered to the Modesto Compost Facility where they create and distribute composted material.
