Does the institution have a pre-consumer food waste composting program?:
Yes

A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:

The dining hall program is mostly 'behind the scenes' in the kitchen – the Chartwells employees collect food production scraps (pre consumption) as well as food waste (post consumer), in wheeled toters. A BERD employee takes the containers from the eating facilities at Kline, Manor House and Campus Center to the compost pile at the Recycle Yard. The student team of Compost Commandos carries out the residence hall collection program during the regular academic year. Each week a team of students collects scraps from white compost buckets in each kitchen, using an electric golf cart, and takes them to the Recycle Yard.
