The goal is to compost the parts of your meals that you don't eat while on campus. This can include all fruits, veggies, meats, oils (like salad dressing), breads, etc. - all food! Also, it includes used napkins and cardboard food containers. Please use the compost (usually brown) bins around campus, and take selfies or get someone to photograph you using the bins.
