The University of Michigan Waste Management Services began composting yard waste many years ago. The program was expanded to include pre-consumer (prep or kitchen waste) in 1997. In 2012 the program expanded again to include a pilot where post-consumer waste (uneaten or leftover food) was collected at the Michigan League and eventually U-M Dining Halls for composting as well. The success of the program allowed the inclusion of certified compostable containers and utensils to the composting list.
NCRC has adopted the program. All post-consumer waste such as compostable plates, cups, flatware, bowls, napkins, and take out containers along with your uneaten or unwanted food can be placed in specially marked bins at the usual locations. The success of the program at NCRC depends on you and keeping contamination (usually plastics or plastic lined containers) out of the bins. The most common contaminants are little things like salt and pepper or mustard, mayo, and ketchup packets. Look for posters indicating what can or cant be included for composting and remember, when in doubt, throw it out.
For more information on the U-M program and answers to many of your questions please visit PlanetBlue.
