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

The Tufts Composting Program has reduced waste of solid food and non-food products by over 62%. 90% of Tufts dining facilities run pre-consumer compost programs. In 2009, Tufts dining facilities composted an estimated 77 tons of pre-consumer waste. Food is composted at all of our facilities.
