GREEN WASTE - Green waste is composted or chipped for mulch and reused on campus. Composting takes place near the Experimental Farm and the green waste is mixed with straw and animal bedding from the cattle/dairy and horse units. Campus Dining separates vegetable scraps from salad preparation for composting at the site. Some of the compost is also sold to the community.
