Composting

Composting at UNCA

Previous Student Environmental Center employees helped establish a campus wide composting project in the residence halls to capture and productively implement organic waste being generated in the dorms. We have also supported compost collection in all of our campus dining locations as well as moving to put compost bins in academic buildings. While UNC Asheville is currently not composting food waste, we are continuing to advocate food waste reduction, recycling right, and amending soil with green waste in our student-led gardens. Stay tuned for food waste focused events and information about off-campus green waste programs throughout the year!
