Your food makes good dirtNuCuisine staff in dining halls and Norris collect food preparation scraps, plate waste, and leftovers that can’t be donated. After the material is collected, it is delivered to a local compost facility. The compost material is then used in farming and landscape operations.
Composting essentially recycles the nutrients in food waste, which then nourishes the growth of fruits and vegetables. The use of compost reduces the amount of fertilizer and chemicals needed to grow crops and reduces pollution in our waterways.
