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

Compostable items include: produce, meats, dairies, bakery, eggs, cheese, coffee, coffee filters, paper, cardboard, waxed cardboard, paper towels, paper napkins, wood, wood crates, compostable cups, compostable cutlery, compostable packaging, and more.
Rosby Resource Recycling provides three 95 gallon wheeled totes to the 2800 Euclid facility and three 95 gallon wheeled totes to the Student Center for use in collecting compostable waste. They empty full containers on a scheduled basis of three days per week and transport the material to their off-site processing facility.
