Campus Composting
Where does UD's compost go?
Compost from UD dining halls goes to a the campus in-vessel composter. When mixed with landscaping waste, the resulting nutrient-rich soil amendment feeds the expanding campus garden.
Hanley Sustainability Institute student leaders also run a Neighborhood Composting Program. The team picks up 5 gallon buckets from student porches and brings them to Old River Park. At Old River, the kitchen scraps are added to the in-vessel composter. Finished compost gets used in the Old River Park Garden as well as by Facilities Management for landscaping around campus.
