A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Muhlenberg College composts or mulches waste from grounds keeping, including grass trimmings.
We use special mulching blades on the mowers to mulch the grass. “We never pick up grass clippings. All grounds keeping waste is put into a special dumpster for recycling, that dumpster is transported by our trash hauler to the Lehigh County Recycling center to be turned into top dressing, mulch, and topsoil.”
