The Sustainable Foods Committee is holding a composting trial Tuesday 15 November – Thursday 17 November at all meals in both Erdman and Haffner. If you have questions or want to help, check out the Facebook page.
Why compost? Currently, all Bryn Mawr College trash is incinerated, releasing carbon dioxide and other chemicals into the atmosphere. Composting can help reduce our carbon footprint.
Will it smell? Due to the methods of composting, it will never smell worse than the dumpsters already on campus.
What can I compost? All food, including meat and dairy. Napkins, but not plastic or wrappers.
How can I help? We need plenty of help supervising the separation of compostable waste from other materials during our trials. If you’re interested or have questions, contact jcordonhil@brynmawr.edu.
