Compost Catastrophe to be Corrected

If you have noticed that the yellow compost bins have been missing from the dining hall, first of all, thank you. Don’t worry your ecological self about the situation! As soon as this was brought to the attention of the Housing Services Committee, steps were taken to notify the dining hall managers. They are working on getting more yellow bins so that they are always available. To those dear readers who need a quick reminder, napkins, cups and all food products can be recycled. To clarify, the sign does say to not compost napkins or cups but these are compostable. Dining Services just wants to ensure that the bin looks less like a trash. The only materials in the dining hall that cannot be composted are the plastic from the chip bags, saltine wrappers, plastic covers from the to-go cups and the actual silverware, bowls and plates. We are currently looking for people to stand by the compost bins to educate students about this information. Email megmccormick18@gmail.com if you are interested. Please encourage your friends and fellow dining companions to compost!
