Our East Food Court on campus, and some areas of the Student Center also provide compost collection bins.

What happens next.
Composting is a natural process that allows organic material such as food, paper, napkins, or food waste, to become a type of soil. Composting is beneficial for our environemt as it keeps organic wastes out of landfills, provides nutrients to the soil, prevents pollution, and reduces the need for pesticides and fertilizers.
