We have partnered with SGA, Sustainability Matters, and UMBC Dining to provide a composting drop off location for residential students. This will allow students living on campus to collect organic waste in their residence to be composted.
Upon signing up, students will receive a composting kit, which includes:
- 2.6 Gallon Collection Bin
- Compostable Bags
- 1 Page Information Sheets
Students will be required to empty their organic waste once a week at the designated drop-off locations at True Grits or The Commons.
This pilot program is only available to the first 80 students who sign-up and complete the required training. Only one bin will be available per apartment or dorm, if more than one person within a dorm or apartment is interested in participating, please make sure only one person submits and application.
Who can participate?
Any residential student, who is willing to go through proper training to participate in composting.
How to participate?
Go to the Green Retriever's webpage to review the steps for participating and to sign up!
