Practices and Accomplishments
- Pre- and post-consumer food wastes from all dining halls are collected and composted.
- Leaves and grass clippings are centrally collected and composted, saving on materials hauled to landfills and providing organic fertilizer for campus use.
- Brush, limbs and other collected wood materials are chipped and reused on campus, saving on materials hauled to landfills and decreasing the need to purchase additional materials for campus use.
