Does the institution have a pre-consumer food waste composting program?:
A brief description of the pre-consumer food waste composting program:
The kitchen staff collects many items that were previously thrown in the garbage disposal for composting. This includes the peels and rinds of fruits and vegetables, egg shells, and coffee grounds. The compost is used in the Wartburg Garden to provide nutrients to the growing plants or is transported to the city’s composting facility. All meals are prepped in the same area, so composting applies to all meal types listed below.
