What is composting?

Giving back to earth, one meal at a time.

Composting turns food scraps and organic waste into nutrient-rich soil instead of methane in a landfill. Here is how it works on our campus.

Step 01

Compost your food waste at one of our stations

Drop fruit, veggies, bread, meat, fish, and other food or plant scraps into the green compost bin at a station.

Step 02

The compost leaves campus

The compost leaves school and is transported to a composting facility where it is broken down into nutrient-rich soil.

Step 03

A fresh start

Finished compost feeds farms and helps grow new food to wind up back at our cafeterias.
