Dining Services Has Been Composting for Nearly One Year!

UC San Diego's department of Housing, Dining & Hospitality is committed to sustainability. One of the "green" programs that we are very proud of is the Dining Services Composting Program, which is part of the City of San Diego's Food Waste Composting Program. Starting in August 2010, Dining Services restaurants began diverting compostable food waste from landfills to the composting area where the City of San Diego's great program processes the food scraps into a rich compost product that can improve soil texture. See more about the program and scroll down for UC San Diego's blurb:

Composting takes commitment from the employees of UC San Diego's Dining Services and the City of San Diego. It's the right thing to do for San Diego and the environment. Yeah composting!
