Campus Recycling works with departments and buildings on the Corvallis campus to compost food waste. Please review the information below and then contact us to make arrangements for what will work best for you and your department.
Collect food waste in a break room and dump it into an outdoor compost cart that we service. This works well for both small and large departments who are willing to engage the department/building occupants to participate.
We provide:
The department may choose either a 2-gallon pail with a flip-top lid or a 6-gallon bucket with a screw-on lid. A 6-gallon bucket will be provided for outdoor use; if this capacity is insufficient, please inform us so that it can be exchanged for a 90-gallon roll-cart.
You provide:
What is accepted: All food waste (including animal products) and some fibers (napkins, coffee filters, and paper towels).
