• Carleton to expand compost program

    A new and exciting composting projects is currently in the works on campus and will be up and running this spring.  Catering services will begin new composting programs when students return from spring break this year.  Sustainability Assistants met with Joe Winegardner, the General Manager of Dining Services several weeks ago to pitch the plan.  Joe eagerly agreed to train staff and obtain the proper bins in order to make composting happen.  As a result, all food waste generated at catered events will be composted and event organizers will be encouraged to select compostable plastic-ware, napkins, and plates that will also be sent out to the compost piles in Rosemount.
